It is no mystery that there is a huge difference between a state school and a small, liberal arts college. Not only are the class sizes different, but so are the Friday and Saturday nights. Many wonder, how does one go out at such a small school? Well, here we go.

1. Going out

Feeling frustrated and annoyed because you are being rushed to get ready by a certain time because the parties end early.

2. Getting Dressed

Having trouble deciding what to wear because you have to be tasteful in the way you dress, not being a large city but instead on a small campus.

3. The Pre-Games

Watching all your freshman friends freak out, worrying about when is the right time to go to get into the one party on campus.

4. Campus Security

When you have to be cautious because your school has a strict drinking policy and security can knock your door at any given moment.

5. First Impressions

Trying to make friends with the upperclassmen girls.

6. Flirting

Having to stay away from that one senior boy.

7. Party Scene

Witnessing the hookup culture unfold in a small place.

8. Hookup Culture

When your school is so small the hookup culture feel like it’s becoming incestuous.

9. Drama

Watching your old hookup or current crush scheme on your friends.

10. Hunger

When there are no food establishments within walking distance, so ordering in is the only way to satisfy your post-party hunger.

11. Debriefs

You and your friends overthinking everything about last night the next morning.

12. Shame

Thinking you have to hide because all 1,900 people are judging you for the happenings of last night, when in reality no one cares because you are, indeed, a freshman.

13. Friends

The realization you love going out not for the party, but the great memories that will bring you and your friends together for the next four years.
