<p>It is. Plus it’s really laid back.</p>
<p>I think the guy in Elad’s interview who was like “ARGH THE FREAKIN SHUTTLE BLARGH SO COLD OUT” was kind of funny. I mean, your social life will give you whatever you put into it. Buy a winter coat. The walk to Davis from downhill is seven-ten minutes, and the T will come within 5 minutes usually. And a 25 minute ride takes you like past South Station - before that you can get off and find **** to do at Harvard, Central, Kendall, Charles, Park, Downtown Crossing, and that’s just the red line. Plenty of people go to Govt Center and whatever. Last year I was lazy and wouldn’t feel like going out, but this year we realized that we didn’t take advantage of Boston nearly and enough and have been rectifying this by going to places we haven’t been, like Newbury Street and Kendall, comedy clubs, etc. But I also agree that it just depends on whom you’re with. I can have much more fun staying in with my really good friends and playing Super Nintendo, rather than going to a frat.</p>
<p>And yeah, if people want to get drunk, they get drunk. They get their vodka, they pregame, they have theme parties in the room, whatever. And it doesn’t ALWAYS fade junior/senior year - I just went to a house party at a senior’s house and they talked about how they got drunk and stoned around five times a week still. (not necessarily healthy…but, I mean, if that’s what you’re looking for, haha). I don’t really drink and I still have an awesome time, and I don’t feel like there’s a pressure to drink at all. But don’t expect to find really AWESOME frat parties, those are kind of in short supply lol.</p>
