So here’s the deal with Brandeis social life. People complain about it. HOWEVER, the parties are there if you want them. It’s NOT LIKE DUKE. We have no where near the same drinking/Greek culture. There is no official Greek system at Brandeis. That said, people throw parties all the time. They may not be massive parties where the entire school shows up, but they exist. The social atmosphere is a lot more relaxed. Most drinking I’ve done has just been in a dorm room with a few friends, though, admittedly, that’s more my pace. There are people who enjoy big parties. However, there aren’t as many of them as there are at a school like BU or Duke. If you’ll only be happy going to two huge parties a weekend, don’t come here. If you enjoy small shindigs and are willing to make your own fun once in a while (by which I mean going into Boston or throwing your own party or whatever) Brandeis is probably a good choice.
