Abstract
This paper explores the impact of campus party culture on students' academic
performance and overall wellbeing. As social gatherings and nightlife activities
become increasingly embedded in university life, there is growing concern about their
influence on students’ mental health, academic success, and lifestyle choices. Drawing
on existing literature and historical perspectives, this study examines how party culture
affects student behavior, motivation, and time management, highlighting both the
potential benefits and drawbacks. While party culture may foster social bonding and
stress relief, it can also lead to academic decline, poor health outcomes, and risky
behaviors if not managed properly. This paper aims to provide a balanced view to
understand the relationship between partying and the academic and personal lives of
university students.
