What do Berkeley students do to have some college fun?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I forsook UCSB so that I could go to a community college and so that I could have the chance transfer from there to Berkeley.</p>

<p>Recently for some time I sort of began to regret not deciding to attend UCSB. I thought about the dynamic social scene and the killer parties down there at Isla Vista, the college town next to UCSB. I began to cope with the problem realizing that I could just visit one of my friends who will be attending UCSB this Fall. I will visit him this Holloween, that's for sure.</p>

<p>Well, I know that Berkeley is world reknown and that in the end I made a better choice for the security of my future. I was just wondering however, what do the kids at Berkeley do to have some college fun? I mean, are there any crazy parties on campus? Not trying to sound like a clown, just wondering.</p>

<p>Not on campus necessarily; frat parties are typical frat parties - rowdy, wild and crazy. Bowles Hall in particular used to throw massive parties, and Berkeley had to make the dorm freshman-only to alleviate the problem of excess from the Gentlemen of Bowles. Finding a good party at Berkeley is NOT HARD at all; drugs are very popular here (thanks to the extreme left), and alcohol is abundant. Any institution with a population of hard studiers will have alcohol on hand to relieve itself of typical academia stress.</p>

<p>If you want the UCSB party vibe, yuo can always join the greek system at Cal. There just are more "channels" at Cal, with a broader spectrum, and more in terms of urban attractions. SF is right across the bay and lots of things to do and see in the bay area.</p>

<p>Yeah I've been thinking about joining the greek system at Cal.</p>

<p>Would I be able to join as a transfer?</p>

<p>Many are "typical" frat parties, but not all of them are by any means.</p>

<p>Yeah. I think it would be better stated that drugs are popular here because it's a college campus--duh. Young people, no matter what their political background, will experiment.</p>

<p>Are there dungeons where one can be voluntarily dominated?</p>

13

<p>^ whattf? bsdm?</p>

14

<p>The Units count as dungeons.</p>

15

<p>Sure . . . :rolleyes:</p>

16

<p>So how exactly do you find parties at Berkeley? I was there for a year and the only "parties" I attended were for my dorm floor. We uh...we ate cookies and milk.</p>

17

<p>In my experience, recreational drug use has not been prevalent at all, unless you count alcohol. Been here a whole semester and haven't been able to find any herb. Shocking isn't it?</p>

18

<p>"Are there dungeons where one can be voluntarily dominated?"</p>

<p>yeah.</p>

<p>dungeons and dragons.</p>
