[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my freshman's HS friends (in this order) - some are T25/30 but all private:

Vanderbilt
Notre Dame
USC
Northwestern
UChicago (surprising to me)
MIT
Georgetown
Cornell (another surprise)
Dartmouth
Penn
Duke (it's fallen a bit - used to be much more "fun")[/quote]

Agree with all this. I'd add Columbia - my freshman DD goes out every Friday and Saturday.[/quote]

Goes out to bars, restaurants and clubs in NYC or frat/house parties?[/quote]

All of the above, but bars, clubs, and restaurants are more popular choices than frats and house parties.[/quote]

We've heard Columbia is very sceney and pricey - lots of private clubs/bottle service. It's almost like the kids lead a 25+ life at 18? Everyone has a black card or Centurion card too. Out of control but maybe all city schools are like this now.[/quote]

If that’s the case that’s a bummer.

Columbia and NYU always had a very tiny group of what we then called “Eurotrash” kids who were super-rich expat or international kids with a ton of money who led very separate lives from everyone else. But Columbia used to have a great, chill social scene. We would take the train down from Yale sometimes to go to parties in the  university-owned apartments with friends. This was the early 2000s and the schools were still cautious about off-campus violence in the 90s, so they looked the other way and allowed a lot of on-campus partying.

Phones, better understanding of liability and risk, and job pressure have really taken the fun out of college. It makes sense that students are looking for more organized socializing in schools with Greek systems or really formalized southern social scenes; it seems like the only way to be sure there will be a little fun.[/quote]
