Clubrooms are basically what they sound like: mini club type events held in a room. Most of the time, they are held in the designated rooms that certain groups meet in such as the Black Student Union (BSU) clubroom in McDaniel.
When the group hosting the clubroom does not have a designated area then the forum may be reserved. Some groups also ask other groups for the use of their clubrooms.
Many of the clubrooms offer themes like “prep,” LGBT, etc. They usually start around 10p.m. and last until 2 a.m.
Of course, just because the “party” starts at 10 p.m., doesn’t mean people will be there at that time. With clubrooms, you might notice many will not show up until midnight. The reason for this varies amongst the groups of people that go to the clubrooms. Sometimes it might just be because they want fourth meal before leaving. Other times people just want to start the “party” later.
Now at this point, you might be wondering what the point is of going to one of these clubrooms would be. The answer to that would be that clubrooms allow for more social interactions and help you to meet new people on campus.
Personally, I know a couple of people who found their current partners at a clubroom. They also help in relieving stress that has been piling up for way too long. So grab some friends, go to the clubroom, and enjoy.
Unfortunately, the fact that all the clubrooms are on a Thursday sometimes causes complications. There might be times when you have something important due on Friday and don’t have the time to go to a clubroom.
Even though that week’s clubroom is not possible for you, there are still other activities on campus that might be available to you, and there will be plenty more clubrooms that you might be able to go to.
So, should you go? Why wouldn’t you? It is a fun new way to meet new people and a great way to end the week.
