<p>What is the social scene like in Boston/Boston University itself? I know Boston is essentially an urban college town, therefore is the city very strict about alcohol use and underage drinking? On weekends are students mostly socializing in the city or on campus? Is alcohol usually involved in campus parties, do the police ever get involved?</p>
<p>BU is strict about alcohol. The city is not. Many students live off campus. </p>
<p>The social scene in Boston as a whole is much harder to describe. If you have specific interests, there are whole communities across schools that you can touch. If you're just talking about restaurants, bars and clubs, well it's Boston . . .</p>
<p>The social life for students in the city of Boston is a major selling point. It is awesome and there are tons of things to do no matter what your interest. Penty of parties, mostly at just off campus apartments or frat houses, but lots of other options if partying is not your priority.</p>
