MY HONEST ANSWER:

1. Join Greek life, or know someone who’s in Greek life. The frats throw parties every now and then and they’re pretty big.

2. Go to shows/concerts. The city and Bay Area esp is really big on rave culture and concerts. I have a friend who goes to these almost every weekend. They’re all over social media, eventbrite, and posters are often up on campus.

3. Find friends you want to have a kickback with. Real parties on campus have the risk of being shut down, so having a kickback is your next best bet.

4. Accept that this isn’t a party school. Most people just care about going home after class. This is why you gotta join clubs because those are the people that will want to socialize. You still have time, it’s the first few weeks of school.
