There is always the idea of having a guy or girl night. For girls you might want to watch chick flicks, do manicures and pedicures and just talk about life. Girls could also do a day at the spa, if they had the money. Guys could have a video game tournament, watch some new movies and eat a lot of junk food. This is a good idea every once in a while and gives you all a time to bond. Another thing you can do is travel to someone's house and stay the weekend or night there. This might be a nicer place to go than your dorm room.
Going off campus is always a good idea. I mean who wants to constantly be stuck on their campus. There are a variety of activities you can do. Getting dressed up and going out to eat can be fun. Also going to the movies is a classic. Some areas near college's have discounted movie theaters where they show older movies and its only a few dollars. Bowling is a fun thing, where you can all socialize and have a good time. Plus it is a relatively inexpensive. You could also look for concerts or art galleries in the area, sometimes these activities are actually free. If you go to college near a big city, it's always fun to walk around and explore.
If you are stuck in your dorm for some reason there are always fun things to do there. Coloring, although thought of as an immature thing, can be quite fun. It brings back many memories and brings a lot of laughs. When you and your friends are done you can hang the pictures up in your room. Games are always fun to play. You could play basketball, ultimate Frisbee, corn hole or other outside games if the weather is nice. If the weather is not nice outside or you just don't want to be out there you can always play card games or board games. Apples to apples is a college favorite and works great if you have a lot of people. Having random dance parties in rooms, hallways or bathrooms are also a fun and random thing.
These are just a few ideas for you if you're trying to avoid the party scene. There are many other things you can do but these are just a few. When trying to think of things remember to be creative and think outside the box.
