Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Fraternities provide the most popular nightlife on campus, throwing several big theme parties per semester and more casual parties on the weekends. Wednesday nights are popular party nights because many people don’t have class on Thursday. Freshmen are not allowed in Greek houses for the first four to six weeks of school because the College wants to make sure they have time to settle in and see what is on campus besides parties. For students who are not interested in partying, there are many other activities, like movies, speakers, other campus parties and gatherings, concerts, and plays. 

There are no nearby clubs, but there are a fair amount of bars. Johnnie Reb’s, which is just down the street from campus, is a local and College favorite. This bar is large and always packed, and it offers weekly karaoke nights. Joeyg’s, a more “artsy” bar and restaurant downtown, features local musical talent and a laid-back bar scene. Shipley's is a popular spot, especially on $1 shot night. Students must have a designated driver to go out because the bars are mostly downtown. Students sometimes carpool to the clubs in Louisville if they’re looking for a bigger and more exciting scene. Fourth Street Live! in Louisville is a favorite spot for a night out on the town, especially when there is a free concert there. At Hanover, there is always something to do and somewhere to go for all different tastes.

As Good as You Make It

The Nightlife is as good as you make it. There are plenty of things to do, you just have to get out there and find out about them and get involved in them. There are good bars for people over 21, while there are plenty of things to do even if you are not 21. Overall, the night life at Hanover College is very satisfying.

Night Life

Hanover has a good nightlife scene...on weekends. But during the week it's a pretty boring place.

Nightlife

The club and bar scene is not a popular way of partying. Our fraternities have weekly weekend parties. This is also the way underage students party. There are other ways to have fun for those that do not drink. There is usually a play or seminar for those that don't wish to go out and party.
