Nightlife at Oxy really depends on your effort. Dances and other big events put on by Programming Board usually offer opportunities right on campus to dress up and get drunk with your friends if you're careful. Then there's the reliable "kick-back in someone's dorm room." If you're feeling ambitious and want to walk or have a DD, most weekends a frat or nearby house will throw decently fun parties, though sometimes they are exclusive.

Spotty Performance
As a D3 school, varsity sports aren't our top priority and therefore we don't have the best records all around. However some of our teams did great and won conference. It just depends. Sports are pretty popular with a large percent of our school participating; I'm a varsity athlete myself and know numerous athletes from other teams. As for the facilities, they are of pretty decent quality. Also I've noticed that the coaches Oxy hires generally have impressive backgrounds and experience.

You can get away with a lot. Dorm parties are common with drinking and even smoking if people get creative. You just have to be smart; if you have a strict RA on duty then obviously it isn't a good idea to party in your dorm that night. Campus Safety is pretty lenient with the amount of smokers here, but it's not wise to push them...
