When do the parties start?

College Life
1

<p>I just started college orientation (5-day period), and my classes begin on Monday. I have not been to any real college parties (and I'm not partier, I just want to experience it). I'm kind of frustrated already, which is not a good sign since it's only the second day of orientation. </p>

<p>The reason for this topic was to inquire as to when the parties begin. I've heard so much about party schools, and I have not seen anything close to that yet. Am I missing something? When do they start?</p>

<p>They've probably already started. Look harder.</p>

<p>Dito, you're already missing them.</p>

<p>at stanford there are big parties every weekend at several places. those are advertised through flyers and email. then there are smaller one that you only hear from friends. </p>

<p>either your school doesn't have that many or they suck at getting the word out. look harder and ask around. facebook also has the "events" thing that lets people post parties and when they're happening.</p>

Or someone's just not the type of person who gets to go to parties.</p>

<p>There are great parties during orientation because there's no class in the morning to worry about and no papers due yet, take advantage.</p>

<p>maybe if u stopped posting on CC, u'd find some parties</p>

<p>wow, everyone's being so hard on this person. what college do you go to?</p>

<p>it is possible that you are just not looking in the right places. start asking around. and if you still can't find a party, why not make your own? obviously new college freshman wont have the ability to have a huge one, but make sure you're having fun. you have four years of college left ahead of you, at one point you'll get a chance to experience that kind of party.</p>

<p>Isn't there any mention of a party or two on facebook?</p>

10

<p>I get like 10 invites on any given party day(Thurs, Fri, Sat, sometimes Sun) on Facebook. Also, hanging out with upperclass students will get you into parties... and then there's always the frat/sorority scene.</p>

11

<p>The parties have already been happening. Go out, talk with people, see where they are headed. Facebook is also a good resource. But don't worry...once you get to know people you will get plenty of partying done. You won't have to find parties...you'll have to find time for work!</p>

<p>Parties in college? That's like asking which days in the letter "Y".</p>

13

<p>Let me clarify something: I've only been in college for 1 day so far, and only freshmen are here. Why is everyone so quick to judge me without even seeing my face? I guess that's a part of college too (sounds more like high school crap to me). Also, this is only my second post and you've said I use CC all the time. Doesn't that sound a little rediculous? Thank you for answering my question in a very deragatory fashion. Actually no, that's not answering, that's just being fecicious.</p>

<p>I go to a private college, so we don't have as many people that go here as let's say West Virginia University, or a major state college. I actually heard a party mentioned a minute ago, but I didn't directly get an invite, so I'm contemplating whether I should crash it or not.</p>

14

<p>So did you find parties on facebook..?</p>

<p>Ask your roomie if you have one about parties.</p>

15

<p>Not ridiculous at all.</p>

<p>If it seems like it's only freshmen, then look a little harder, There's always upperclassmen/grad students around.</p>

<p>And the quick judgement doesn't stop in college. It doesn't stop in the real world/workplace either.</p>

<p>And the point is that CC isn't the place to be asking to find parties. The people posting on CC like me are sitting at home fooling around on the internet. Not a real party atmosphere here. I mean, unless someone decided to throw a forum party where everyone brings their laptop and posts threads and gets drunk. Best place to start is your hall, ask around. Ask your RA. They're usually heavy drinkers.</p>

<p>During my orientation, there was a floor party in the lounge. Actually, it's a good idea to throw your own, cause you'll probably meet more pple that way. Just bring a stereo & tell otheres to bring food.</p>

17

<p>LOL! Ask your RA? That's the funniest thing I've read on CC today. Seriously, don't ask your RA unless you're CERTAIN they're cool and not out to get you into trouble... and at this point, you can't really judge their ways yet.</p>

18

<p>if the upperclassmen aren't at school yet, it'll be harder to find the parties, but they'll still be there. Have other people in your dorm found parties?</p>

19

<p>most RA's are laidback and aren't out to get you. as long as ur not drinking in the dorms or making an idiot of urself, they don't care what you do outside of the hall. some RA's will even buy drinks for you if you're nice</p>

<p>LOL, those posts could be VERY amusing to read...</p>
