I was just curious about what the social scene is at Northeastern. What do people do on weekends? Is it a big party atmosphere or big on drinking? How has your experience been with joining clubs? Is the atmosphere very competitive? Thanks!
Students enjoy the city and the campus on weekends. There is so much to do within a train ride (and that includes somerville and cambridge).
Clubs are not competitive and I don’t think you will have any problem joining any one that interests you. There are clubs to cover any interest - professional ones (for your major), cultural ones (things like chinese culture), hobby ones (cooking, video games), service/charitable ones, etc.
Boston in general is a pretty big drinking town, but don’t expect to get into the tons of bars with a fake ID (the city makes too much trouble for places that let you in underage). The campus doesn’t have a big party atmosphere.
If you search this forum you’ll find a good deal of threads on the topic. Here’s one:
