Please tell me all the fun isn't dead!

The “fun” scene is certainly, uh, how should I say it, alive and well. The two posts above pretty much summarize it well, but another dorm with a lot of partying is Pierce. As well, even most of the traditional dorms that don’t party have groups of people who go out all the time (BJ, Blackstone, Maclean, etc). My house doesn’t really hook up that much; there are a few intra-house relationships and a few more awkwardly repeating hookups, but no one (that I know of) has had a big night where they brought someone home. That being said, my house is somewhat tame compared to the other houses in our dorm, and I’ve heard a LOT of stories about hookups in South Campus.

I think a lot of people do this because the amount of work is ridiculous. If you don’t have fun (not just partying, maybe you live in one of the stereotypical UofC dorms and play boardgames on Saturday nights), you WILL go crazy. No one can work 7 days straight without losing their marbles.

Also, like people said above, if you want to stay away from the drinking/drugs/sex aspect of college, it’s very easy. Moreover you only have to live in housing for one year, so if you find the whole collegiate party “culture” repulsive, you only have to put up with it for three quarters… then you can move off campus and hide in your apartment all the time.
