Get real, people. The party scene is terrible at Brandeis. Most people aren’t into partying to begin with, but over the last couple years the cops have been breaking up every party they find. You can “register” a party, which is meant to inform the police so they can watch out and make sure everybody stays safe. In reality, however, they just use the “registration” as an easy way of finding the party and breaking it up. Because of the stupid quiet hours rule, nothing is allowed to go past 1, and I’ve frequently been to parties that didn’t even make it to that time. Altogether, over my four years here I found the social scene incredibly stifling. Including dating–everybody here has either been in a relationship for years or won’t even let you take them to dinner. Even if you offer to pay!
