Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Nightlife is mostly an on-campus deal, but you won't have to struggle to find spots to party. East Quad is really the focal point of partying, and parties there can get big. There is a lot of heavy drinking, and people do hook up a lot. Juniors and seniors tend to have a bit better of a nightlife than underclassmen, mostly because they don’t have to worry about being underage. Although there are clubs in Columbus, most students settle for the one bar in downtown Granville: Brews Too! It’s an overwhelming favorite with seniors, but if you’re under 21, you won’t be allowed into that party.

Organizations like fraternities and sports teams throw a lot of parties on campus as well. Some of these parties can be pretty exclusive, but usually they are open to everyone who wants to go. After recruitment, the sorority and fraternity parties become very exclusive, stopping non-members from entering. Freshmen have also been known to throw their own, no-alcohol-allowed parties in East. For those who prefer not to drink, or those under 21, parties thrown by campus organizations such as Homecoming are a good choice.

No Clubs, Fun Parties

There are not any clubs, at least locally, that students can go to. However, on any given weekend night there will most likely be some type of party, either in the Sunny Apartment buildings or over on East Quads that are open to the public. It helps in the party scene if you are a female. If you are a guy, being in one of the fraternities guarantees some type of party scene whenever you want.

Nightlife?

Denison doesn't have much of a nightlife other than the occasional lame dorm party. Despite the lack of good partying, people seem to enjoy themselves here and the university tries really hard to bring fun events to the school on a weekly basis.

Squashing Campus Fun

Denison seems to be making a strong effort to crack down on campus parties. Since all housing is on campus, there are not many party options besides dorm rooms and apartments. The few houses we had are being taken away by the administration. There is one bar in town which is very popular, and another restaurant just opened up a lounge which offers another option. Students must get creative when trying to have fun.
