This all probably depends on what kind of college you go to, but at my school there is a very large Greek scene, so a lot of underclassmen especially attend parties there. Most upperclassmen and some underclassmen attend house parties just off campus.

Generally, yes, at college parties the music isn’t quite as loud. They can get pretty loud at frat parties but usually these houses just don’t have the ability to make it as loud as you would hear in a club. At house parties the music is often more in the background than the main focus of the party, so generally I find house parties much more conducive to getting to know people. The drawback is that there’s not as much dancing as at a club or frat party.

Frat parties serve up terriblee beer and occasionally some Franzia or jungle juice but the reason for that is because attending them is free. For house parties it’s up to the host, but most will charge $3-5 just to help them offset the cost of alcohol (then you can drink all you want, usually better quality beer and mixed drinks). So yes, it’s much cheaper, since everyone attending these are college students looking to save a buck.
