Next to Nothing

Unless you have a car or know someone with a car, don't plan on going anywhere outside of the SMALL SMALL town. There is a shuttle bus that runs Saturday afternoons ONLY to the local mall and Walmart and Target. There is a bus stop that is within walking-distance, but most buses require running to Harrisburg to go anywhere. The bus routes are very roundabout and take a long time. There is definitely a need for a car here.

House Parties and Underage Drinking

Sometimes it seems like everyone drinks here. Honestly, I'm not a huge partier, but it is so easy to go to a house party- especially if you are female. Girls get in free most of times, and guys can get in by paying and by bringing a certain number of girls. It doesn't matter if you're underage. The police station is located right next to the main row of party homes, but that doesn't deter parties one bit. There are parties every weekend. I have heard that they run out of alcohol quickly, so most people "pregame" in their dorms. Be sure to bring your own alcohol to your dorm. They will really only check for it over breaks, so hide it well or bring it home then, and they will also only check if they have a good reason. Most RAs are pretty laid back, so they barely write people up. If you party, come here. You can get shlammered. If you don't, good luck finding something to do on weekends. Oh and there are bars in town that are within walking (or crawling) distance if you are 21+.
