I went to Harvard. I graduated high school in 1961. I lived about 12 miles from Harvard. So on Friday and Saturday nights a few friends and i would go to the 4 and 5 story walk-up apartments around Harvard and listen for the sounds of partying. We would follow the music and casually enter. About half the time we would get away with crashing the party and spend a few hours or the whole evening partying.
I went to MIT too. Just a hop skip and a jump from Harvard. MIT was pretty dead. No parties, no girls, no lights after ten PM. Nothing.

But Harvard had pretty girls and parties.
