In my personal opinion, there must be a balance in social vs. academic life. Too much social will obviously result in lower grades, and too much academic will result in possible depression and/or burning out.
That being said, there are different majors that require an altering of the balance, per se. For my major (Chemistry), the balance is favored quite heavily toward the academia side of the scale. That is what Friday and Saturday nights are for.....partying. Next semester, when I add in quantitative analysis + lab to my schedule involving physics and organic chemistry, the balance will shift even further.
The main concept here: sacrifice. There are the people who party for 4 years with a general business degree, and end up with a lower end job. Then there are the people who study and go to grad school/law school/med school, study for a bit further, and pull of some rewarding jobs with high salaries. Sacrifice is what it is about.
