[quote=Anonymous]I went, and I was not into football or Greek life. Never went to a game during my tenure. Only went to 2 frat parties and that was to see a band. There is a lot of drinking, but I had a mix of friends who were drinkers and friends who weren't. If your daughter is judgmental about other people drinking, she would be in for a hard time-if she's fine with other people drinking but doesn't partake she'll be ok. It might take a little more effort to find her group, but she will find it. There's a pretty big contingent of Indians from the Philly suburbs (and a huge contingent of white kids from schools in the Philly suburbs who grew up with lots of South Asians and don't consider them unusual). Yes, there are small town kids there, but not everyone from a small town is racist or provincial. I was in the honors college, which probably made a big difference in my experience (though I had many friends who were not). Not sure if your daughter would have the grades for that, but if she does, I'd encourage her to apply. It makes a huge school seem smaller and maybe improves the odds of finding a few like souls quickly. There was plenty of drinking and sex in the honors dorm-but also plenty of tolerance for people who choose a different path. [/quote]
