Happens now quite frequently at privates.  Schools no doubt have suggested rules.  No one on one.  Mix of girls and boys.  Consider URM.  Spouse needs to be there.  No drinks unless all over 21.[/quote]

Ha ha. I majored in Russian and we used to get hammered at department events, including dinners at professor's houses. And they used to come to our parties in the language dorm. One had a stocked bar in his office and seniors would do shots on Fridays. Other departments definitely had their own after-class traditions, some of which were more refined (but still included alcohol....the English and classics professors weren't going to NOT drink wine. Although, as I recall, the poli sci/econ profs were more into beer.)

[b]Whats the point of going to a SLAC if you don't get the perks of a small school? Getting to know your professors, and interacting with them like an adult, is one of the reasons you go to a tiny school in the middle of nowhere.[/b]

And it’s shockingly inappropriate. 
This entire thread is unreal to me.  [/quote]

It’s unreal to you that professors sometimes socialize with students? I feel like you’re the kind of person who wants to impose rigid rules on everyone because you’re deathly scared of losing any advantage. that really says more about your anxiety to squeeze out any possible advantave than them.

Colleges and universities are places where people learn and construct knowlege. Thinking and talking about their areas of study with other is literally how you do academics at a higher level. [/quote]
