Providence College Top Questions

Organization: Board of programmers which is very selective. And The Friars club which is a known as "the cult" on campus. These are the two main and most influential groups for the involvement part of the college. I just made it on the Board of Programmers (BOP) and will be helping plan all events next year. Athletic events are very popular. Especially hockey, soccer, and basketball. Intramurals are very big as well, becuase most students played ports in high school too Closest friends: Dorm room, and then classes. Traditions:Freshamn crawl (at the beginning of the year when freshamn look for house partyies adn the upperclassmen throw water eggs etc...) CIV screams (when your done iwht the requiremnet we burn stuff and streaking etc.) Ridiculousfest at the end of the year...alot of random stuff Partying: If you dont party, you dont have much to do becuase there are so many poeple that do. Ive pregrammed a pregame and it is not hard at all to get alcohol. I just buy it myself, very easy. There is a different place to go every day of the week. Literally, adn someone will always come with you to get drunk. Saturday night: Concerts, sporting events, downtown, and some alternatives Off Campus: eat dinner, walk streets, bars, clubs and shopping.

great social life, always something to do

There are no fraternities or sororities, but some people form their own "mock" frats and sororities in order to establish a set group of friends to go drinking with. A large portion of the PC student population parties on a regular basis. Every Thursday through Saturday night there is a steady stream of drunk people coming off Eaton St, either from the house parties or the bars/clubs. Off campus there is the mall (including movies), Water Fire during the fall semester (until about Halloween), Thayer St, Federal Hill, and (if you so desire) clubs and bars.

As an athlete life is extremely different from most students. Traveling detracts from social life. From limited experience, social life revolves around drinking, especially at bars.

All are popular in their own right. I am involved in band, and it is great. Athletic events are popular. Theatre and the arts are not as popular unfortunately. People party a lot, usually on Thursday night-Sat. No frats.

Great social atmosphere, the friends you make here are for life. You meet people in class and in the dorms. Everyone is really friendly and we all get along with each other. You may not know everyone but everyone is quick to say hello or help you out.

Rugby is a blast, great time since I joined spring. Clubs and organizations are great ways of meeting people. We have a great recreation board. You'll find your niche in PC.

You see the same people everyday and it is like taking high school for another four years, if that's what your into then it's a good time, but could be a little larger. Most nightlife is spent at the designated drinking local...there are several bars within walking distance, all of which sell alcohol to underage students. The dorms are old but the suits and apartments are appealing...one catch it is seen as a upperclassman privileged....you also have to pay three thousand more to live in them. It is easy to make friends and for the most part is a friendly environment.

Intramural sports are the most common activities, almost everyone on camps participates in them. The main sports such as softball and basketball are very competitive, which is fun. Dorm doors are almost always open. Everybody goes to teh bastball games. Late night dining is either golden crust pizza or frankly's pizza, theyre open all night long, and have quality food for the time (you will only eat this food when you are hammered). You can go out any night of the week and have at least 15 to 20 people who are doing the same.

Board of Programmers puts on many great events, but this is definitely a Party College. There are a number of illegitimate bars in the neighborhood, and the school provides a shuttle to get you there. Pregame for everything! No frats/sororities. Last weekend entails RidiculousFest, most people are blacked out by noon. Not much to do on weekends w/o drinking, although they do a great job for weekday nights making sure there's plenty to do. Important to know however that opposite sex has to be out of dorm by midnight on weekdays and 2 am on weekends. Only one (sorta) co-ed dorm.
