Rice, Johns Hopkins, [b]Dartmouth, Notre Dame [/b] fit those descriptions.

Please read. It says ....by not drinking. Still think Dartmouth and ND fit?

Non-bro, non-drinking culture is the opposite of Dartmouth

Come on. I can't take you seriously with you misusing all those buzzwords. Every kid can find their people in most colleges, OP. You should know this.

Like many Asians, my kids can't drink alcohol, because they lack the enzyme that metabolizes it. And yet you see Asian kids who don't drink much, if at all, in all sorts of college campuses. My son is at GW. His friend is at Dartmouth. Another one is at Yale. There are plenty of parties in all of these campuses, but they themselves don't do the alcohol part. They're not "bros" either, but rather nerdy kids.

Tone down the prejudice.

This, it's also just embarrassing. Just say that you want a school where a politically moderate, non-drinking student would fit in comfortably.

What do you consider to be a woke vibe, OP? Please define what your kid is trying to avoid.

Heavy drinking at any top 20 college really isn’t a thing for most of this generation of high performing 18-22 year olds - certainly compared to prior generations. The “woke” thing will vary, but all the schools have lightened up in recent years.

Penn, Hopkins, Rice, Uchicago. Probably more. Mine are at two of these schools and know those at others. All nondrinkers., social, super bright--like to have fun but also take academics seriously

Agree.

Northwestern University may be the school that matches your criteria. Nevertheless, NU also offers a variety of social life options.

OPs question makes no sense. Bro non woke culture usually follows lots of frats and alcohol.

Looks like OP is a troll and didn't get the response they wanted.

Curious when you guys say you want to avoid a strong woke vibe if that means you don’t ever want to be confronted with the existence of racism, systemic or otherwise, misogyny, etc., or do you want to be in an environment where you can casually drop the N word without any fear of pushback? Just wondering.

There you are. Your time has come and (thankfully) gone. You can no longer bully people by calling them "racists, misogynists," etc - just because you want to pick fights. No one said anything about the "N word" - just you. Grow up.
