[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Sciences - very common. Many social events, mostly in professors’ homes. Everyone is invited- spouses, children, etc. Now we do it in parks b/c COVID but Professors are officially hosting, working the grill, sending the invitations, etc.

Very common around holidays as well, to host all students who are not able to make it back home for the holiday feast, or to treat foreign students to our traditions. We typically have a houseful on thanksgiving.

How are professors able to invite ALL of their students to parties at their homes?  Are their houses really that big?[/quote]

They invite all of the seniors in the department, or all of the majors, or whatever. The professors in my department used to have a cookout for the majors every spring at one of their houses, it was fun to go off campus and do something social, especially since we were all so sick of school by April of senior year.

One of my intro class teachers--it was her first year teaching, too--invited all the freshmen over at the end of the year to celebrate getting through the first year in our department, which was notoriously hard. She had a tiny apartment and we had a great time and were all like, "this could be us in 10 years!" It's college--you're used to cramming a ton of people in a little apartment and sitting on the floor and eating pizza.
