<p>^What hesdjjim said - we have plenty fun, but frat parties are not our idea of fun. Most of us are in our mid-to-late 20s and early-to-mid 30s, and we’ve done the college thing before. Many of us are married and a few have children. In my grad program, we get together to play poker together, or have a board game night, or go out for drinks at the bar and chat, or get together at someone’s apartment for a beer and some conversation. It’s grownup fun and I’m usually at home and in bed by 2 am.</p>
<p>Incidentally I have gone out to party a few times in grad school, but it was generally at the 21+ clubs where we could go dance and drink for a few hours with some friends. Grad students definitely do not hang out at undergrad parties, as a general rule.</p>
