<p>Ok, so I am a relatively social person, but I do NOT like parties. I truly don't have an interest in that, I'd rather just have a close group of friends. So how common is partying at Penn? Is it necessary to attend them to have a social life?</p>
<p>I know a pretty close friend at Penn. He does not drink, and he says that there is a pretty big party scene at Penn. However, he still has a social life, with plenty of friends, without partying.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be alright.</p>
<p>Alright that’s good. I’m not planning on joining a sorority either. I prefer being independent and having a good group of friends.</p>
