[quote=Anonymous]All colleges have some drinking. I think you want to avoid a place where an Animal-house-like culture is revered.

Greek culture and rah rah sports at a large school might have more of it.

The key is to find a place where the kids who don't drink are not marginalized. They should still have social options. My kid's school for example, offers an activity that is fun and an alternative to alcohol-centered events every Friday night. (Examples, paintball, going out into the woods with the Wildlife Society on the Vernal Equinox to find salamanders, bingo with prizes that college students like, a stand up comic).

I suggest you look at the survey results on Unigo. They ask the same questions of kids at different schools, so you get to see a wide range of responses regarding how dominant alcohol is on the social scene. Princeton Review's Guide also has some data on this. Good luck, my child is the same and searched high and low for others who were not interested in drinking in college. [/quote]
