Witt's party scene

I will have to admit I was much more into the party scene that Witt has to offer my freshman year than I am now. Freshman year I would go out on almost every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but these days, I average going out about once a week. The problem I have with these parties, and the reason I don't enjoy the big parties on campus much anymore, is that I feel that are just a huge dance party where people get fairly drunk and sometimes make bad decisions. Now, I would prefer to hang out with a smaller group of people that I actually know and enjoy spending my time with. A friend of mine always tells me that going out is a great way to meet new people but I disagree with her. I tried that freshman year, and yes I met a bunch of great new people, but in reality I don't talk to almost all of those people today. None of those friendships were strong because they were all based on drinking and partying. I'm not saying this is everyone's experience, but this is what I have experienced through Witt's partying. I do appreciate that there are always parties on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday to offer students the chance to party though. And I do feel safe when I do attend these parties, but these days it is just not for me anymore.
