<p>Co-op really has zero effect on social life. I probably go out more when on co-op since I don’t have homework/studying.</p>
<p>As far as parties, boston apartments are small so parties are usually limited to circles of friends rather than just a big house party. Especially now that I’m older and have more groups of friends, I can find something to do any thursday-saturday night, but it’s harder as a freshman when you have to depend on knowing upperclassmen with apartments, especially if you’re a guy.</p>
<p>Being 21 also makes a huge difference… some people get away with fakes when they’re younger but bars are strict so it’s easy to get denied. Once you’re 21 there’s always something to do and endless bars around the city to try out.</p>
