After visiting the CGS open house yesterday im pretty certain i will be sending in my deposit to BU very soon. Before I do, I want to hear about the social life aspect.
Am I going to need a fake ID? Where are the majority of parties? Do people usually go to bars? Do you party at other schools? Do people like to go out?
Boston is EXTREMELY strict on IDs. You do not want to get a fake unless you paid good money for it and is very hard to distinguish from a real one. People who are under 21 go to frat parties, the popular ones are MITs in Allston. People do go to bars, but I’ve heard not many underclassmen do because its just so hard to get in to them. This is heartbreaking for me, because I’m living in Switzerland rn where the drinking age is 16 and even my high school serves students alcohol at events and gatherings. So its obviously going to be a massive difference where drinking is treated so differently. You do not need to worry about people going out especially at BU, because there are just so many people and you are bound to find people who have similar interests regarding social life. Keep in mind that what I have said is based off of my friends who go to BU and this is not from firsthand experience. I hope this helps though!
