The student Neighborhood south of the University of Dayton. Known for outrageous parties as well as constant police patrolling through out the weekend. On an average night you will find large house parties full of inebriated flyers (dayton students), friends, and families making fools of themselves, breaking things, making bad decisions and, recently proven by scientists, having the most fun any group of students can have in college. These parties are not byob and rarely run out before 1 a.m. The beverage of choice usually is beast.
