Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most students are satisfied with the nightlife in and around Fort Worth. There are a variety of local bars and clubs close to campus, and student favorites like The Pub and Scooner’s are located just blocks from the dorms. The area bars tend to be the most popular, but some students occasionally head into downtown Fort Worth or Dallas for a change of scenery. The various bars and clubs in the Fort Worth area provide entertainment for all ages. The Galaxy Club, located in Downtown Dallas, and Billy Bob’s, located in Downtown
Fort Worth, are just two places popular among underage students. Since most students look off campus for evening
and weekend entertainment, there are plenty of options
close to campus. Overall, students seem to be satisfied with the selection.

It's Ok

we all know that college students can't live without parties. there are some fraternities and sororities that are really into parties, and we understand. for most of us, party is not the biggest part.

Always Something Going on

There are tons of things going on, but if you aren't Greek then your options are more limited. Greek organizations will hold mixers where they rent out a club. These mixers are often open to the student body so usually there'll be one huge party that everyone's at. House parties are good but very split between Greek and non.
