I thought Discover House was a SLO to help freshmans learn about different majors and to help them make a good decision. I would think that LIFE house is better suited for freshmans who would rather study than party.

I went to the welcome day information thing & someone asked this question for the current students.
One dude said East, one dude said North & another said freakin' West or something.
I was like "yeah...that helps..." LOL.

From everything I've heard, East is the craziest party scene... I've heard from about 100+ friends NOT to go to West.

lol I love the pre-college views of the party hardy atmosphere of east

It is not THAT crazy, campus security swarm over east looking for underage drinkers as alcohol in the dorms is prohibted you can end up losing your housing contract if caught.

My advice, if you want to get *****ty, head downtown and try to get into the frats. At least there you can drink the cheap beer without chance of being homeless.

all frats have open door policies the first month or so to get pledges. PSU has one of the longest pledge periods where most parties are open. After that as long as you know someone within the frat you can get in.
