[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. I had a really hard time at college also, because I didn't drink. I recall telling my mother "THey act like wild animals just let out of a cage".  There was a poster up in the dorm with everyone's name and how many times they'd puked.

She needs to find other friends like her, who don't drink. Then she'll have more fun.[/quote]

I wish people choosing colleges would do some research on their drinking cultures. While some drinking goes on at all schools, the abuse culture is over the top at some.

You can figure this out by looking at survey results on UNIGO (which includes items on whether there is pressure for everyone to drink, or social options that do not revolve around  getting drunk).

This is all made worse by parents who just accept drinking in high school, which is of course years before it is legal in the US. That ups the ante for them when they get to college and want to feel even MORE grown up. Really sad and pretty dangerous.
