social life/parties at NEU

I am going to attend Northeastern and I am excited about being a part of the community. I was just wondering what the social scene is like. Obviously it won’t be the same as party schools but what are they like? Also since it is directly in Boston do people get fake ids to go to bars? Im sure aside from parties there is a lot to do in the city so im not worried about finding fun things to do, I am just curious about these few things.

Fakes get caught very easily in Boston and most bars in Boston use scanners, even some liquor stores. Usually apartment/dorm parties are typical, ranging from 5-30ish people (usually larger amounts of people = larger apartment of course). Some people who want frat parties go to MIT for those.
