[quote=Anonymous]Again, this was late 90s/early 00s.  The kids were largely white, Southern, wealthy, and preppy and well, the kinds of kids who would make fun of a school with a few artsy and non-straight students for being a school for lesbian freaks (or at least a lot of them). Most of the diversity came from international students who were largely self-segregated, in part due to language barriers, though there were maybe 2-3 black kids per grade, too.  Lots of pressure on girls in particular with respect to looks and size stuff, which led to some eating disorders. There were also several suicide attempts because it was just a hard place for some kids, and supervision was somewhat lacking. I'm sure a lot of this has changed.

Also, with respect to the partying, back then, there was plenty of drinking off campus, though a lot of it was on weekends when kids stayed overnight off campus with parents.  They were zero tolerance on drugs, but you got two strikes on alcohol, and some of the faculty "on dorm" would look the other way when kids came back obviously drunk so that it was actually several more. Though lots of kids did get kicked out. There was also a pretty rampant hookup culture (including freshmen), a lot of it occurring during "strip time" between study hall and lights out.[/quote]
