Wow, that lady isn't too kind for doing that, she definately should have knocked and asked you to be quiet first. Do what I always do when I move into a new place; go out of your way to meet all your neighbors, tell them you enjoy having company over but want to respect them and give them your phone # so if you get too loud they can just call you and ask you to be quiet. This shows respect, keeps your neighbors happy and keeps the cops out of the equation. Works well.
ps- congrats on being "excepted" into college, better work on that spelling.
