shellzie: I think that’s a great question to ask on the boards of other schools that you’re considering. If you ask them what students typically do on a weekend, you can see if it varies much from the frat scene at Dartmouth (my hunch is that at most places it won’t). My experience was that my friends were doing pretty much the same amount of partying, it just wasn’t in frats, it was in a club or a student houses instead. I might be coming from a pretty unique perspective, but at most other schools that I considered attending, partying was what people did. However, there may be other schools that have a totally different social scene, which is why I think you should ask around at other colleges.
