<p>This stuff happens at EVERY school guys… Get over it… Even MIT kids party.</p>
<p>Ok well if you went to a hardcore Christian school, you might have me there. </p>
<p>If you think Cornell (or any school really…) is drug and alcohol free you’re in for a VERY rude awakening…</p>
<p>zfanatic, </p>
<p>theres a difference between MIT parties and cornell parties. kids at MIT drink and talk about math. kids at cornell drink and get alcohol poisoning 4 nights a week.</p>
<p>doesn’t MIT have a comparable if not larger greek system?</p>
<p>They do have a larger greek system. 50% of men and 27% of women are in greek life.</p>
<p>And if you think MIT students talk about math when they are trashed, you are sorely mistaken.</p>
<p>I have several friends in and out of greek life at MIT who have told me how careless the binge drinking scene is at MIT.</p>
<p>hmm… i got a different vibe when i visited MIT. i know there was a kid or two that died because of alcohol a few years back, but when i was visiting MIT i never saw more kids spending fridays and saturdays doing problem sets and only having one drink, if that… it seemed like they were more into ‘having a beer or two’ rather than getting trashed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not quite.</p>
<p>5 nights a week*</p>
<p>Is there some sort of Cornell-partying crash course? I get a little drunk and i just ramble on about physics T_T</p>
<p>It’s not that difficult…don’t worry you will be surrounded by tons of freshmen.</p>
<p>cornell partying crash course= go on Outdoor Odyssey and your guides will bring you to a bunch of parties after the trip during orientation week.</p>
<p>Crash course:</p>
<p>1) Find people to go out with. Trust me you will find people.
2) Get into party. Girls are a must if you plan on heading to any of the more popular places.
3) Get wild.
4) Don’t overdo it the first couple of times… Learn your limits.</p>
<p>Partying Success.</p>
<p>^two more things
dont leave the house til the booze gone
dont fall asleep with your shoes on</p>
<p>Seriously, if you are a guy, find some cute girls that you dont really want to have sex with and go out with them all the time. Girls are the key to getting into any party here. Bring Cute Girls. If you are a girl, avoid the back attack. Any guy who doesn’t have the balls to ask you the dance doesn’t have the balls to do other things as well.</p>
<p>you can get into the best parties even without girls… i remember freshman year feeling like a loser going in with one or two guy buddies but leaving with one or two new girl buddies… it’s nice to meet people who you didn’t previously know.</p>
<p>honestly, maybe i’m not the best partier but i dont think getting in was ever quite an issue, even if you are a guy.</p>
<p>where can I get a fake ID?</p>
<p>buuuummmmp any new accounts about Cornell’s social scene?</p>
<p>The social scene is supposed to be great, on and off campus.</p>
<p>a great thread here for cornell students</p>
<p>Which frat house has the best parties?</p>
<p>bump .</p>
<p>Could someone (possibly even the original poster if he is still around) speak to the validity of this awesome “guide” as it applies to Cornell today? </p>
<p>Even better, as its obviously somewhat dated with many of the listed bars closed by this point, maybe someone with extensive experience in this area in Ithaca wants to put the effort into creating an updated guide? </p>
<p>I just got here, and if I had a fake ID, I would hypothetically want to use it at bars/liquor stores, but am worried that some places might recognize it as fake and take it away, or obviously even worse call the police.</p>
