<p>you won’t be an outcast if you don’t go to frats. my friends and I are not opposed to partying but we’d often just watch a DVD in someone’s room on friday night, tired from morning classes, and maybe get dinner in Boston/Harvard on Saturday. There’s usually a lot going on besides parties - shows, concerts, etc. I’ve stayed up til 3 reading in the lounge while I let some kids I knew use my room to roll their blunts, lol. (they offered to share with me, but…it was a really good book!) Plus, I mean, it depends on the kind of person you are. I’ve gone mudsliding down the President’s Lawn, sledding between Hill and Hillsides, and once had a really fun night just wandering around with my friends and putting masking tape on various Tufts landmarks. With the right group of people, you can have a great time.</p>
<p>ETA: by the way, I didn’t drink almost at all last year but I’d still hang out in my friends’ dorm rooms and watch them play beer pong. It was fun to socialize, and not necessarily to get drunk and end the night face-first in the toilet, lol.</p>
