Party School?

Hi lnskoog, you may have seen that line from the Veritas Prep Essential Guide to Top Business Schools https://www.veritasprep.com/mba-essential-guide/kellogg/kellogg-snapshot/. I'm the Managing Editor and primary author of the guides, and a Kellogg alum as well! Kellogg is a far cry from the frat houses that you've described, but the students certainly like to have a good time! Many of the events and activities will have copious amounts of alcohol. In the Jacobs Center itself (Kellogg's current location), only beer and wine may be served--hard alcohol is prohibited (although you may see it brought in by students on rare occasion). It's not uncommon to see students get pretty hammered at off-campus events, parties, and activities. Many other business schools are the same way (as investment bankers and others often see business school as a 2-year vacation from their incredibly intense jobs), but Kellogg and NYU Stern may be particularly known for their party cultures. I'd love to get other perspectives on this as well, particularly from current students!
