Japanese Universities (circles, university reputations, and student life)

I am looking into applying to a 4-year-taught-in-English program at a Japanese university. I was wondering how top Japanese university’s reputations varied from each other. For example, is a school like UTokyo considered nerdy, while Keio University is considered a big party school? I am worried about how social life and the party scene will compare to that of American universities. Are there particular circles that ensure lots of parties and goes out drinking a lot? How do international students mix into these crowds? Thanks.
