<p>So obviously people party, join clubs, sororities, and all that but what specific places do they go to and how do they get there? does at least one person bring a car or do they just go in BART or walk? </p>
<p>are the clubs or parties in SF? or do they stick to berkeley? how far is sf from berk anyways?</p>
<p>SF is one 30-minute ride on the F bus from Berkeley. I didn’t really have a reason to go til I was 21, going on a date, or sightseeing, though. There is plenty to do in the East Bay.</p>
<p>I had a car junior year while I was living off-campus in Emeryville. It wasn’t really worth it.</p>
<p>Go to parties in Berkeley every weekend, take bart to SF every month at least to go shopping in Union Square or to some event going on there, take a 20 minute bus to emeryville to shop some more, watch movies on Shattuck…</p>
<p>You can’t party in SF if you’re under 21 or you don’t have a car. All you can really do is go to frat parties or get drunk in your dorm room. And then get an apartment and throw parties there :D.</p>
<p>
For fun? Usually sleep.</p>
<p>Are there any under 21 clubs in SF or anything like that? I love to go out dancing and stuff … is there anywhere that you could go for that?</p>
<p>im assuming u fake ID’s dont work? i thought everyone does that in big cities</p>
<p>ill be a 21+ YO freshman… bwuahahahaha. <em>cheers</em></p>
<p>fake ids work. just gotta know your info though.</p>
<p>what do u mean by that? im really short lol well not really short but im 5’ 2’’ so it would probably seem fake anyways lol</p>
<p>as in know your cover story and know what the hell is on your id card. some kids try to flash their id at safeway and i saw them just get grilled by the person (address, etc etc)</p>
<p>well clubbing in sf is going to be hard even with fake IDs… how would you get back home? bart/buses stop running soon after midnight =/</p>
<p>man. i always imagined that u could go to kool night clubs and all that in college. but then again, i’ve never partied so there might be a buncha creeps. unless i guess if u go with a guy friend and several others and stick with them.</p>
<p>Frat parties aren’t that bad haha. At least in the beginning of the year there’s a lot of theme/blacklight parties that are fun. And no fake ID necessary. Go with a group of friends and it’s safe. No driving, only a 5-10 minute stumble back to your dorm :).</p>
<p>well that’s pretty much the problem the “fun” part of berkeley. sf isn’t as close as people always make it out to be. although i remember the summer before i came here, some person on this board kept saying if you came here just for fun, then maybe you should consider some place else and i kept thinking w t f. and so you’re pretty much limited to either house or frat parties around berkeley. (or dorms i guess if you’re frosh/soph)</p>
<p>How is SF not close? The bart station couldn’t be any closer and it’s only about 20 minutes to Union Square. A lot of people go pretty often.</p>
<p>Yea, it takes me about 40 minutes from my room by BART to get to FiDi SF, and 25-30 minutes to get to Berkeley campus by AC bus. SF is close.</p>
<p>on Wednesdays we have a gathering near the free clinic on Durant and we kind of do a tribal dance with the homeless around an idol made out of junk. You don’t have to dress up usually unless the Wednesday falls on a holiday, which makes it all the more fun. It’s open to anyone so you can just walk up and no one will care. I think it’s a pretty good way to meet people in other majors, but you won’t see any engineering folk. Most people go a few times during their freshman year but I’ve been too lazy to walk down or catch the bus, it’s like a fun tradition thing from the 60’s.</p>
