<p>I am a current student at Stanford, and life outside the classroom has been pretty damn fun for me. One could say that you have as much fun as you want to. So far this year there has been at least one party (most of the time frat parties) every weekend, but I think they are becoming less and less common as Winter approaches. As far as alcohol goes, Stanford is pretty lax. As long as you don’t have alcohol in public places (pretty much anywhere that isn’t someone’s dorm room), you won’t get in trouble. The only way I’ve heard of anyone getting in trouble for alcohol was for being caught drunk by a campus police officer. To be stopped by a police officer on campus, however, you have to be pretty noticeably drunk.</p>
