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.

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.

Not Like Other Colleges

Parties at DU are an experience, an experience that gets old pretty fast. If you enjoy dancing in sweaty dorm rooms that you need to leave perodically in order to catch your breathe and cool off then you have come to the right place. Parties here suck, there are usually not enough parties so people cram into one and you can barely move. Plus, quiet hours start at 1 am and security is pretty strict with that. If you like to party, don't come to Denison.
