The HU Party Scene

[JAS04]

I was just wondering how the parties are at HU, for instance does the school host the parties, are they mostly formals or informals, what are the cost , and are they widely attended by students !!! Just an inquiring mind, awaiting my college experience.I would genuinely appreciate your responses.

Thanks,
JAS

theres quite a few parties at hu. its atleast one a week just about. they arent expensive. they are all 5 dollars or less, and for girls, many things are free including clubs. clubs on the other hand can cost up to about 15 dollars on a regular night if you get there too late. i dont really like the clubs in dc because they are different from what im used to being that im from atlanta and all. but if you like to drink. house parties are good, they generally have free drinks with the admission charge, and if you get good like me, you can find out various ways to get into house parties and clubs for free. there is no dress code for house parties of course, and in clubs, for the most part its none either. but on flyer, it will tell you. sometimes its no timbs, sometimes no sneakers, sometimes no jerseys or doo rags. if it says casual, that means none of that stuff i just said. parties and clubs, whenever they come to hu to advertise tend to be mostly howard students. if you go to an upscale club like dream or vip, you may see something different though, including people of other races. and because all parties no matter where they are tend to be "howard parties," some people tend to strike out and attend parties at other schools in the dc/md area. personally i went to parties at american u, johns hopkins, umcp, george washington and georgetown, but didnt really enjoy most of them so i stuck to howard things. i went to a party or club on average 2, but as many as 4 times a week... so if you want any more info, hit me up...

YEAH, everything she said lol, and i mean also there may be free shuttles in front of the quad to take ya to that party/club...also to add there is ALWAYS something popping friday-sunday, sometimes thursdays and some wednesdays...

Yep. Pretty much everything they said is right. Not too much i can add in, considering i only went to the club once my freshman year. What, don't look so shocked...yeah, it's true. Just not my thing. I mainly like chillin at lil kickin it get togethers in somebody's room or sumthin. But trust, if there is sumthin that it will never be too lil of at HU, it's parties. You'll have more than enough options every weekend (btw...thurs is the weekend in college...even if u have a friday class). Bump that, it don't even have to be the weekend and somebody will be doin sumthin.

Naw, but most of time, you'll find that your pockets just aren't deep enuff to club all the time.. so instead, find a friend or 2 to chill w/.. my choir always got together for no reason.. like I saw too much of them people...

oh for real? Which choir r u in? RHC, HU Gospel choir, university choir, or chapel gospel choir? I'm in the chapel gospel choir. The new one with Richard Smallwood as the advisor.

And I feel u on the money thing. Everybody doesn't have the hook up like home chick up top (me for example). Those dollars will start adding up on ya.
