On-Campus Is Where Its at

Almost all CC nightlife is on or close to campus. Sports teams are largely responsible for house parties: the Basketball team and Hockey team are known for having good house parties. Going out to bars/clubs in Colorado Springs is relatively unheard of because Colorado Springs is so conservative/religious compared to CC. It is not hard to drink if you are underage and drugs are available if that is what you are interested in. Fraternity parties do not play a large role in the nightlife, however with Fiji and Sigma Chi back on campus, that will hopefully change. The school does a good job providing student with on-campus parties: the most popular are Drag-ball, Worner Halloween, and occasional rave-type parties. Even though the school puts them on, they are actually fun to go to.

8Th Block at CC Is the Best

The CC party scene is fantastic if that's what you're into. 1st and 8th block the seniors create senior party calendars which include crazy theme parties every night at their off-campus houses, all of which are within walking distance. It dies down a little during the rest of the year but there's still a house party most nights, and some houses are notorious for throwing down almost every night. When there's no ridiculous theme to dress up for CC students just opt for neon everything. All house parties are free and seniors see it as their responsibility to provide free alcohol to underclassmen because they were provided with it when they were underage, but don't expect anything more than beer at the parties. Most students drink quite a bit before going out in either the dorms, the apartments, or off-campus houses in small or medium groups. Not everyone drinks at CC but most do, at least occasionally, and there are definitely quite a few heavy drinkers, but there's very little peer pressure to drink. No one cares if you aren't drinking, you just might not end up enjoying the parties if you're not.

Very Existent and Always Fun

night life around the springs is not so popular, but on campus there is always a ton to do for everyone. drinking is very popular, and while there are non-drinkers, on weekend nights, going out and partying is certainly the main thing to do. themed parties are what makes cc nightlife what it is, and everyone has a great time dressing up, drinking, and going out with friends to have a fantastic night. Drinkng during the week certainly happens, but unless it's 1st or 8th block, weeknight drinking is generally in a dorm room with friends.
