I mean, it's nothing out of the ordinary. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but this was the stuff I thought was cool:
College parties are so much bigger than high school parties! Like, a HS party might have maybe 30 people there, 40 if it's insane, college parties are very commonly in the hundreds over the course of the night.
Alcohol runs like water! You don't have to wait for someone's 21 year old brother to get back from college and buy you like one bottle of whiskey, and then one guy has like a semi-decent fake that kinda sometimes works at that one sketchy gas station down the street so he has like a half-empty case of beer from doing that earlier, etc. etc., and you run out of drinks around halfway through... it's just endless.
You can be completely open about it! No turning down the music because a light went on in the neighbors' house and you're worried about their reaction, no keeping it quiet because you're all underage... It's a college campus. Just do whatever, the campus police literally don't care and they told us they don't care.
All the new people! I never met like 90% of these people until this day.
Wet Friday! Your school might not have that. Mine is probably the only one that does, so if you went to my school, Go Jackets & THWg, otherwise, I'll explain it. The whole campus is a dry campus during rush week which is the first week of school. Then starting Friday at 12:00 PM, alcohol is allowed on campus again. And the festivities commence exactly at noon. You can literally hear the cheer from off campus coming all the way from the Greek sector. The whole place is just a total party starting at noon. Water slides, pools, girls walking around campus in bikinis, it's insane. Truly indescribable. It's like if you took away all the old fat alumni and children from gameday, and then multiplied what is left from the gameday atmosphere by 20. It's amazing.
I apologize for beginning each bullet point with an exclamation. I wasn't going to do that ever, but it just kinda happened.
