Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If clubbing and bar life define the collegiate experience, most Grovers live undefined lives. The College encourages an environment where partying, drunkeness, and drug use are minimized. In a township without bars or clubs, partying students must make an effort to support their habit. Underage drinking is strictly prohibited, but many older students drive 15 minutes away to enjoy a responsible off-campus drink. Still, the average Grover doesn’t play drinking games and has never gotten drunk. College policy does not allow alcohol at private off-campus parties, so determined partiers will drive about 30 minutes to an undisclosed location to escape notice. If the administration is alerted to an event and the partiers are Greeks, the sorority or fraternity will temporarily lose their charter. Even partiers hardly appreciate the local bar scene. They feel it lacks youth and class and appeals to “redneck” locals. Looking for a nightclub scene? A 60-mile drive to Pittsburgh presents several options. Just don’t plan on faking an ID. Residential assistants are hired to enforce the rules, so if they overhear a conversation about “fakes,” they are required to dissuade or report you.

Most Grovers find enough weekend good times without alcohol. Campus activities like dances, concerts, pizza parties, or ice cream socials offer a good excuse to leave the books behind. Students might invite friends up to their room during inter-visitation for a movie or games. Grove City College has a minimal nightlife scene, but most students enjoy finding other things to do to have a good time.

Hard to Find

Grove City's "night life" isn't highly publicized since it is a christian college and underage drinking is typically frowned upon. However, if you look in the right places, you can find people who do party. Often times, people party at the neighboring college, Slippery Rock University.

Nothing Goes on

The college is full of studious no-lifers who don't party. Because of this, it is very hard to find a decent party worth going to. Some drive over to Slippery Rock to party and get hammered. Otherwise, it is pitifully boring.

Sucks

Nightlife sucks! There are bars and pubs but if you are looking to club, this is not the place. Sure there are parties with alcohol and hook-ups but clubbing isn't apparent at all.
