Is UMass still a huge party school?

Not a student, but my son is. I understand the Southwest dorms, particularly the high rises, have a lot of parties, and the Northeast dorms, not so much. Central is in between, as is appropriate for its name. Like most colleges, if you’re looking for parties, you can proabably find them, and if you want to avoid them, you can. The secret seems to be finding a balance between partying and studying, which my son so far seems to be doing, if his first semester grades are any indication (and he lives in Southwest).
