My last preceptor was a USP grad and he was also in a frat during his time there, from the stories he would tell me it seemed like he and his frat brothers did party quite a lot, interestingly he also did well academically. In terms of USP being a party school, I'm not 100 percent sure as I don't go to that school but I have heard both ways. Maybe the student body of the school may not party but the campus is located quite close to Drexel and UPenn, giving you access to greek life, bars, and other shenanigans. My advice is to NOT fall into the stupid freshman year mistakes and instead worry about school.
 
Yes, I know that I am going there for one thing in particular and that is to become a pharmacist Everything else will come second.
 
USP had a lot of parties when I started 5 years ago. Then administration cracked down on frat parties. No parties anymore. A good amount of stuff to do in the city though, and I'm trying to go out about once or twice a week now since I'm moving back home after finals week and will be bored all year 🙁.

Freshman year go out as much as you are able to afford going out while keeping your grades up, since it gets harder and harder to find time to go out with every year.
 
Hell yes, the best parties are put on by USP people. They party hard over there, I'm actually kind of jealous 🙁
 
Honestly speaking, isn't every college a party school? No parents which means those type of people will party.

Maybe almost. I know some schools that have fairly strict rules compared to where most people go.

Depends really on the size of the school and the student population. The college I went to in northern NJ was pretty small and a majority of the student population commuted to school rather than live on campus..hence no real party atmosphere.

Did it help you sleep and study? :laugh:
 
I don't see what the big whoohah is all about when it comes to whether a school is a "party school" or not. Is that the determining factor for you, OP? I would think that's why we have clubs and whatnot.:idea:

Assuming you're serious... why can't the social life/atmosphere be a factor in one's school decision?

It can. Just not the most important factor. Once you're done with school, it won't matter how many parties you went to or what crazy nights you had.

Friends you make will remember what kind of a person you are, and not what all you did while hanging out.

Yes, but you'll remember those parties/nights for the rest of your life.

I was having a discussion about this today with a Jefferson student. The plus of a 0-6 program is that you're done after 6 years, no PCAT, etc... However, the negative is that it's a pretty rigorous program, with no real undergrad, and there's really not much time to have fun. I guess the same could be said about the CC to PharmD route. I've had a pretty boring 5 years so far, and now what, moving home for rotations where I'll be even more bored 🙁

Would you recommend the route you chose to high school seniors?

wonder who you were talking to

yeah i got all the party out of my system during my crazy undergrad years, pharm school has been more like a job for me vs. being a student (i'm completely over the "college experience" thing).

There are days when I look at some of my preceptors who are ~ my age/younger who did their 0-6 + residency with some tinge of jealousy -- often in a functional way, like thinking to myself, "damn, they're making their six figures before age 25 & got in when getting a residency was easier."

then i think of all the stuff i did/experienced/gained in 4yrs of undergrad and, given another chance, i'd do the exact same thing all over again.

This x1000

I actually addressed in my personal statement how fortunate I feel that Pharmacy didn't dawn on me until midway through my junior year of undergrad. If I hadn't fallen on my face so many times balancing my academics and my social life I wouldn't nearly be as prepared for a professional program as I am today.

Partying wasn't anywhere near the top of my list when deciding on schools to apply to, but it's comforting to know I can go out and have fun on the town if I want to.

Besides, you learn important life skills like...how to jump a balcony and hide in the bushes when cops show up at your party in LA and you're underage.

...then you learn how stupid that is and you just play cool and follow the herd out to the next party.

Oh #1 life tip learned = pre-partying is essential to your wallet, only buy drinks at the bar for girls; otherwise, $8 for a drink is stupid.

Teaching not to buy drinks at a bar except to liqueur up your date is sage advice. Carry on confetti carry on. I wouldn't know about jumping into bushes, but it sounds funny, so I will take you at your word that you shouldn't.
 
If it's not in Wisconsin, it's not a party school. Truth. 👎
 
Lulz. Most parties are the same anyway...keg, drinking games, people making out, people puking, people getting laid, cops may or may not come... Meh. Gets old. I don't see why it matters what school has the best parties anyway. At least at annual the odds of having a good convo with a smart individual while "partying" are better.
 
Stop being a bunch of grannies! 😛 And yes, we measure our junk on the daily.

This is an average party. yes. And then there are parties like the Mifflin Street Block Party. So epic, it has it's own wiki page.

EDIT: I will stop now as I am adding no substance to a substanceless thread.

:laugh:

The very first time I drank, the cops showed up. I'd rather not say how old I was, but I was well underage 😳 I ended up "hiding" in the bathroom until I realized it was a terrible hiding place anyway :laugh:

Pre-partying = 👍

This post is just full of win.

I was at a party once, near the local university. You would probably know the location should I describe it. Anyway, it was kind of wild. People passed out in the yard, all of the bathrooms in all the apartments were clogged or full of people yakking or sleeping in the bathtub. So guys were outside peeing in the bushes and the ONE person in the complex who wasn't a student got mad and called the police. When they got there, she demanded they take urine samples from all the men at the party for DNA analysis of the pee in her bushes. :laugh:

I had to hide my boyfriend in the back of his truck because he was so drunk he could hardly stand and he'd peed all over himself and was wearing a Winnie the Poo party hat and refused to take it off. I pushed him in there, closed the tailgate and told him to be quiet and stay away from the camper windows while the cops were there.

That was a LONG time ago. It's funny now, but nothing I'd want to relive!
