<p>Is it just low class frat parties with mindless drinking and hooking up? I'm just trying to get a feel of the social life at Cornell University.</p>
<p>Do you think the entirety of human relationships and social gatherings can be summarized in one sweeping general statement?</p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>Is every single party held by people in your HS the same?</p>
<p>There are more than 13,000 undergrads at this university, there are plenty of parties and they are obviously not all the same. I’ve been to parties that range from chill holiday potlucks to barbecues and bonfires to themed tea parties to hipster electro raves to 200 sweaty people in a fraternity basement.</p>
<p>My kids (2011 and 2016) said they are pretty good. They got dressed up quite a bit for various formal parties. The Slope Day is big, the white party, Fuji Island. A lot of wine tours.</p>
<p>If you want to avoid people with behaving with “low class” then don’t go to parties.</p>
<p>Do you think all drinking activities are necessarily “mindless”? The social life is as varied as any place. A lot of it involves drinking, a substantial amount does not as well.</p>
<p>“If you want to avoid people with behaving with “low class” then don’t go to parties.” Work on your sentence structure before you knock others. Life isn’t about being uptight and being a prick to those who aren’t, it’s genuinely good to let loose. Maybe you should attend a party and you might accidentally have fun with these “low class” people.</p>
<p>The additional “with” was a typo, and I’m not agreeing with the assumption that they are “low class,” just saying that if he is so worried about that then he shouldn’t even go to the parties.</p>
<p>Sorry I just got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and was in a bit of a haze. I didn’t notice the original poster had used “low class” in his post.</p>
