Difference between college parties and nightclub parties?

Personally, I think college parties are much better than the clubs, though both can be fun.

There are no frats at the university that I’m at - and I think that’s a good thing. I don’t want to pander to some frat brothers for the pleasure of paying $3-$8 entrance fee to drink some of their “natty” light. But then, I’ve only been to around five frat parties (at other universities).

I’d much rather go to some huge blow-out the dorm is throwing, funded by $3000-$5,000 of funds by the university, with music from mega-stacks just as loud as in the clubs and with free alcohol/ beer/ punch for all, and mixed drinks if you know someone there with a room.

Pros:

1. Completely free (although I hear this might be unusual at other universities).
No, the -free- alcohol there is not patron (although it could be, if you’re going to a small party where there’s patron). However, that is why you PREGAME back at your room, where you can have any liquor you want for retail price (not 5-20 times retail price like at clubs).


The parties are wilder (no supervision or bouncers, usually — only several student security/ a rent-a-cop.)
Easier to get laid. Hordes of 18-22 yr old girls, better girl:guy ratio, you probably know a few girls there, girls are more comfortable at home than at downtown club. There is less of a *****y subculture.
Less fighting. I’ve never seen a fight at a college party but I’ve seen lots of nasty ones at clubs (I’ve never been in one personally). There are tons of older, simian monkey-brained men at clubs, who will fight you for looking at them wrong or dancing with “their girl.” I’ve danced with women with no men around, and the girl would practically jump on me, only to have some 26 year old gorilla come grunting up to either “protect” her or stare daggers at me because she’s the girl he’s been hoping to bang for the last 6 months/ 6 years. I’m not a big guy by any stretch, but once I’ve had a 6’4’’ 240 lb gay guy (no joke) come up to me to scare me away until the girl “called him off” because - shocker - she actually wanted to dance with me.
No carding – hooray under 21ers!
You can wear whatever you want - toga, underwear, ridiculous costumes, check.


Note: Clubbing might be a lot more fun for girls than guys. Older men with real jobs and money can buy you drinks and you can get dressed up and feel like the girls from Sex and the City. Clubs can be a fun change of scenery I suppose.
