I am going to attend a small liberal arts school outside of Boston, which is very academically focused. I decided not to attend the larger party school like Boston U, should I regret my decision? I am serious and need a serious answer, was my decision the right one based on the flood's own knowledge and experience?
I kind of feel like I'll miss that college experience that is about parties and crazy things.

Honestly, just name the school. Your anonymity is not at stake here. I can tell you for a fact whether the school has a dominant Greeklife or sports scene, and that will predicate how much of a party scene there is. Going to a top SLAC over a giant public university isn't necessarily a bad move. I had friends at Tufts, Wesleyan, and Amherst that had a better time than friends at BC, Harvard, and BU. A lot of it will depend on how much ownership you take of your experience, but there are smart, hardworking, talented, attractive people at all those SLACs; you should enjoy yourself regardless of where you go.
