Matzah,
I think the best way to describe Columbia is that its social for an urban school (local bar scene, not THAT big so you know people, etc) but its not social compared to most schools. Penn's social scene is MUCH bigger and many more stay on campus.
Its not really a campus based party scene. Its New York, so student's don't have off campus houses to support that. The frats exist, but they aren't "open" like they are at the other Ivies. They aren't a real factor socially. The bar scene is hit or miss, sometimes tons of people are out at places like Casbah, other nights (usually Friday) it might be quiet. Alot of people get into cliques and go off into the city.
