[quote=Anonymous]The answer is the same for every college. Every institution has a drinking culture. If your son is inclined to use his four years at college to drink and party, then he will do it anywhere.  I have a fourth-year UVA daughter. She entered not being a big partier or drinker and that’s how she structured her social network for all four years. There are over 600 clubs at UVA. During the week of orientation the clubs have displays and members available to welcome the new students. A cappella singing groups are very big on campus. There are lots of de bating societies, religious groups and political groups.  My DD tried out rowing and the student newspaper.  Sure there is drinking but DD’s experience is that is pretty much confined to frat row, which is off campus.  She entered UVA with no intention of participating in Greek life. The frat drinking culture sometimes spills over to The Corner on Fridays but she and her friends just go to a different restaurant in Charlottesville.  You can go your entire four years at UVA without drinking a drop.  The choice is up to your son.[/quote]
