One comment on a post detailing this week's homecoming activities complains that Columbia doesn't provide "standard university" experiences. In case you don't click the link, basically the point is that there's not enough officially sanctioned booze. I don't think anyone will disagree with that, but from my point of view, it's our fault too.
As far as standard homecoming experiences are concerned, we can't ignore the excuse to have any festivities in the first place: college football. Hailing from the Southeast, I have a pretty good idea of what football culture is like at "standard" universities. I know this is a huge surprise, but we don't have it.
