<p>How prevalent is Thursday night beer pong? I’ve heard it’s popular.</p>
<p>JW, because (if I go Rice, still not sure yet lol running out of time) I would want to drink 3 times a week at least (in addition to saturday and sunday).
like, if I have a big test on friday i obviously wouldn’t get thaaaat drunk but hey maybe a little?</p>
<p>How do rice students handle this? Thanks</p>
<p>Wait, are you the same guy who asked how to masturbate at Rice? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I can’t take your question seriously. You’ll have to physically come to Rice first before you know… plus there’s no definitive answer (you can drink and you don’t have to drink).</p>
<p>I don’t want to portray Rice as a place where everyone gets drunk, because that is a gross misrepresentation and simply is not true.</p>
<p>Please don’t start this thread to spread rumors.</p>
<p>
What happens if you drink less than 3 times a week? Do you turn into a werewolf?</p>
<p>ohgodohgodohgod.</p>
<p>If you’re the “masturbation” guy, I hope you don’t come to Rice. =[</p>
<p>JK, I love everyone! (…most of the time.)</p>
<p>look, i was jk in that thread, but I bet a lot of you guys were wondering the same thing anyway don’t lie.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with this question. Basically I’m asking if Rice people party on the weekdays or not (eg thursday night beer pong) because I want to know i the opportunity even exists or noone does it because of the ridiculous amount of academic work.</p>
<p>Some of my friends at Vanderbilt and Northwestern said the weekend “starts on Wednesday,” and I was wondering if Rice was like that at all.</p>
<p>I never said that rice is a place where everyone gets drunk, I was just wondering if the opportunity is available and about other things I brought up in my post.
What do you mean by “please don’t start this thread to spread rumors?” I didn’t spread any rumors I was asking a question, how about you stop being such a critic?</p>
<p>Thursday night beer pong is very common, but its not everywhere in your face. You have to know where to go. Sid 7th and Jones North are typically good bets, especially during the week. I’d say the weekend at Rice definitely starts on Friday, but trivia night at Pub on Wednesdays is fairly popular, and there’s enough stuff going on Thursday nights to distract you from studying if you want to be distracted.</p>
<p>how about you stop being such a critic? </p>
<p>How about you stop asking stupid questions and go masturbate some more?</p>
<p>Jajajajaaaaajajjajajajaaaaajajaajajajaaaa. As someone who learned way too much about drunkenness and partying during schooldays before he even begun his senior year, I can tell you that staying sober during the week is so much more rewarding than waking up at 11 AM not knowing how you got to your room and with branches in your pocket.</p>
<p>and missing class lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, I stayed at Jones North during Owl Days… =]</p>
<p>UNC girl, if you think my question is stupid, then you should just ignore it and not be so hostile. If you aren’t going to help answer my question or contribute to the discussion, you shouldn’t post. The pupose of this forum is to enalbe you to ask questions confidentially that normally you wouldn’t ask if people knew the name of the interrogator. Obviously some people think it is a valid question, because it has gotten complete and informative responses from people like Hermes. </p>
<p>" Sid 7th and Jones North are typically good bets." </p>
<p>Wait, does this mean that you might have to go outside your residential college friends to play some thursday night beer pong? I thought that at least some people all the colleges would want to play with you. Like, wouldn’t it be kind of awkward if you lived in Brown and then had to play with ppl you didn’t know at jones north?</p>
<p>And what is Trivia Night at the pub on wednesdays? How many people participate and what’s it like? thanks</p>
<p>I’m backing theendusputrid on this one. Just because he is asking unusual questions does not mean they aren’t legitimate. This is a completely valid question to ask, especially given this is college where everyone knows drinking occurs. And for many, the amount of drinking on a campus should be a factor considered when choosing where to attend. Just like theendusputrid, I want to have a really good time at college, which will likely involve drinking. Of course, there is plenty of fun to be had while not under the influence.</p>
<p>That being said, as a incoming freshmen, I imagine that I will party on most weekends and maybe once or twice a week (when I don’t have classes early the next morning), so if I end up in your college, then I’d be happy to play some thursday night beer pong with you! Now, if you “have to go outside your residential college friends” to find people to drink with, I don’t see that as a bad thing at all. I’m sure it is a great way to make new friends and meet all your peers rather than just your college friends. </p>
<p>Here is another question that can be added to the discussion: How often do Rice students frequent the bars in Houston?</p>
<p>I agree with theendusputrid about posts in general… people often take CC way too seriously. Just be nice and lighten up, y’all! There are so many more inappropriate things on the internet than these non-graphic inquiries about inevitable aspects of college life. Yes, there’s a line that can be cross, but this is nowhere near it. If you’re really that offended, you’re in for a rude awakening when you actually get to college. Being accepting and open-minded is invaluable in college and beyond.</p>
<p>Moving on…</p>
<p>No, you don’t have to leave your college to play beer pong, but it’s doubtful you and your friends will always have enough beer around to just start a pick-up game. I was just suggesting Sid 7th and Jones North because they’re known for playing lots and lots of BP, even during the week. But really, there’s typically stuff going on at each college. Other “social epicenters,” if you will, include Brown 2nd, Will Rice Long Hall (although they’ll be at McMurtry next year so “long hall” won’t actually be long hall), the Martel Sallyport, and Lovett 2nd, to name a few. Every college has one or two areas where most of the partying happens. And no, it’s really not that awkward to go to another college as long as you don’t make it awkward. It usually helps to go in a small group and know at least someone there, but it’s not hard to know at least one person at each college by the second week of classes. Besides, leaving your college is fun and healthy.</p>
<p>Trivia Night can be a lot of fun, but it’s mostly hit or miss. Some weeks the place is packed and some weeks it isn’t. A lot of it has to do with the trivia topic and if midterms/finals are around the corner. Thursday nights at pub can also draw a crowd just because it’s Thursday. And Tuesday nights often host College Pub Nights, when your college gets together (usually once a semester) and pays for food and drink out of the budget. Although they’re sponsored by specific colleges, they’re still open to the entire campus.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it too much, though. Should you decide to come to Rice, you’ll find out very quickly when to go where for a good time. Just know that there’s plenty of stuff going on around campus; and that goes for non-partying activities, as well.</p>
<p>What other schools are you considering?</p>
<p>@ waesei- I wouldn’t say that Rice students frequent the bars in Houston unless they’re 21+. It’s much easier and safer (RUPD >>> HPD) to drink on campus. Some underclassmen still go out, but I think one of the great things about Rice is that most of the fun to be had is on campus or sometimes at a house or apartment within walking distance. It’s really convenient.</p>
<p>yeah if you stay on campus you don’t have to worry about the cops b–ching at you for for driving while you’re intoxicated.</p>
<p>Tulane with twenty-four k/ year scholarship.</p>
<p>and uva with instate tuition (like 9 k/year).</p>
<p>rice is way more expensive (like thirty one k a year).</p>
<p>but I think it will probably be worth it.</p>
<p>My parents are paying for my college tuition. im thinking hard. i’d feel pretty guilty using my parent’s money but rice seems is a special place. i mean, it produced james casey. 3.84 gpa while taking eighteen hours per semester after bing out of high school for 4 years, and a future nfl star.</p>
<p>Yeah, the campos are much more forgiving than Houston constables. Don’t drink and drive, though. Even on campus. They’re a lot less forgiving for doing something that stupid.</p>
<p>I was offered the same scholarship at Tulane. I visited and loved it, but I loved Rice a lot more. The students at Tulane just weren’t of the same caliber, and tuition was still expensive even with that scholarship. It just wasn’t worth it to me. UVA is a great school, but it’s huge. But if your parents and your conscience would rest easier with you in Charlottesville… Rice definitely is a “special place,” though. Just go where it feels right. Your parents want you to be happy.</p>
<p>theendusputrid, you said you got into your first choice school (EARLY DECISION) in this thread, so why are you still deciding on whether or not u should go to Rice?

<p>
Also what does your name mean? I mean seriously.</p>
<p>I posted that because I was almost completely sure that I was going to get into Hopkins ed, as I had pretty good stats and was a legacy. I counted my chickens before they hatched and was already pretty positive I was going to get in. Alas, I got deferred and then rejected. I had already imagined the moment many times and therefore knew what if felt like, plus I have an older sibling who got into Duke ED and I know how she felt. Why are you stalking my posts anyway? </p>
<p>My username doesn’t mean anything I came up with it randomly.</p>
<p>All incoming fishies (that drink) should get together and play beer pong sometime 
Any takers?</p>
<p>^I’m up for it. =]</p>
<p>Markos.alejo, I was just about to suggest that, and Im totally in! And thank you theendusputrid for asking this question because I have also wanted to ask it for some while</p>
