Bucknell vs Lafayette

This is more for the parents with first borns heading off to college (or applying). To @privatebanker 's point, partying happens when you have a bunch of 18-22 yr old kids without parents around. Whether a school is isolated or not. The more isolated ones do a great job bringing things to campus. Some partake in that, others don’t. But they all essentially have lots of kids that want to party.

What many experience is quite a bit of it first semester freshman yr. That’s a very social time. All the greek and non-greek orgs are recruiting. Parties galore. A little less second semester. Then this thing called academics sets in and partying settles down. The ones who were “going out” 5 or 6 nights a week reduce to 3. The ones who were at 3 limit to weekends with some of those nights just hanging out with friends. Clearly if you are in a frat there will be more of that accessible.

At the end of the day, there are plenty at most schools that do and plenty that don’t. It’s about finding your tribe.
