Social scene at Merrimack

My son was accepted and when we visited it was hard to get a sense of the social scene because of the pandemic. The neighborhood around the campus is residential and quiet. Can someone tell us more about the (pre-pandemic) social scene at Merrimack? Is it a fun school or does the social scene get boring after a while? We saw a ton of police officers on campus as well, so he is thinking they are strict. A small school seems like a good fit academically be he’s also looking for a good social scene. Any input is appreciated.
