WCSU is like the only state college I never partied at back in the day. I don't think I ever actually been to that campus.
Always SCSU, CCSU, UHart, UConn and Eastern anyone else?

Everyone went home on the weekends occasionally would go to one of the shitty clubs down the road

All the kids from that area go to central or southern, the rest go to school out of state . WCSU greatly expanded about 15 years ago and perhaps they missed their targets

Same here. Can only recall one person I've ever talked to that went there.

Even CCSU was pretty lame when I went there. Thursday nights was the party night and that place emptied from Friday to Sunday. I went there recently and was blown away by all the change from 10 years ago. WCSU is still the same. The food was absolutely atrocious when I went to CCSU and that seems to have changed, there's also now a dining option "up the hill," which you would not what that means if you went there, what we called the "rape trail" is gone etc.

CCSU was empty every night of the week, even the people who lived on campus would get in their car and drive off to stay somewhere else most nights

I lived in an off campus apartment, but walking distance to the school. My roommate was from NY and would drive 2 hours home every weekend instead of staying at the apartment lol. Weekend party scene wasn't too bad though...nothing like UConn but we could usually find something going on in the area.

There was a wooded area at one of the edges of campus that had a footpath that was basically a shortcut. When I was a freshman in 09, it was notorious for robberies by New Britain trash and the occasional sexual assault. By the time I graduated they had turned the dirt path into an actual walk way with cameras and a concrete path. Now the whole piece of land next to the road has been converted into I think a fast food pizza place and dollar store, and the state police barracks is literally right next to where it the trail used to be. CCSU is not far from New Britain ghettos and robbing college drunk college kids is a relatively low risk activity. I know New Britain has improved considerably since then but it used to be pretty sketchy. My friends and I rented a house like 200 yards from campus that got broken into multiple times, I would wake up to bums fighting over cans left on the front porch from last night's party. I got to know many of the local crackheads, there was a road rage shootout right outside our house. It was certainly an experience.
