<p>Is there a lot to do in orange county? Are there a lot of parties? Or is this a dry campus?</p>
<p>@TrynaMakelt: Yep…there are a lot to do in the OC (Disneyland and California Adventure, Knott’s Berry Farm, beaches, parks, trails, museums, performing arts and theaters, clubs, malls, etc.) and whatever you’re looking for, you should be able to find it in the OC. If you’re looking to go to parties, you’ll have to look off campus. Although DS wasn’t the partying type, but knew of some classmates that did. Keep in mind, if you plan to focus on academics, you may not want to spend all your time partying.</p>
<p>You can almost always find a party if you’re looking for one. Campus isn’t technically dry, but upperclassmen mostly live off-campus, so house parties are the norm. There’s a surprisingly large Greek community for a relatively small (<10k undergrads) school, too.</p>
