It's not that parties are useless. For my first two years I went out and partied and actually maintained a fairly normal social life. However, my grades really sucked and I eventually went back and repeated some courses to get a better grade. Around the second semester of my third year though, I just stopped having time for parties and stuff and my parents really cracked down on me. Personally, I'm glad they did, but don't use my life as an example of the normal stay-at-home university student.
You can still maintain a social life but just recognize that if your aim is med school, your studies and extracurriculars always have to come first and that limits the amount of time you will have to do other things.
