Serious question: did you attend college?

What school doesn’t have parties for Halloweekend? This is completely normal.

I’m at JMU now. It’s impressive in a crazy sort of way. Waves of out of towners are circling off campus apartment complex parking lots like a long freight train trying to find visitor spots. Parties have spilled out of townhouses and they’re merging in the grassy common spaces.

That was a choice. I hope she can relax tomorrow.

No worries. A ton of Maryland HS seniors are at UMD this weekend too. As a matter of fact, it's every weekend.

Umm, this is happening in every college right now. I have a kid at Ohio State and there's a football game there tomorrow (against Penn State) so you can only imagine.
Yep! My kid will be going to their B10 game (finally a night game!) and then out afterwards.
JMU goes harder!
Sure.lol
At least JMU has more night games than the Big 10. Really weak shit lol
You have a chip on your shoulder. Big 10 rules.
Big 10 is SEC lite

It started last night at most schools. A three-day extravaganza.
