[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And here I am rolling my eyes at parents at my kids' colleges who somehow didn't realize their kids had chosen places that don't guarantee four years of housing.

(Building dorms is expensive, so state Us and institutions with small endowments in expensive locations aren't going to offer a lot of dorms, and definitely not nice dorms. [b]But drinking? That's determined by whether conservative Christians are in charge[/b])[/quote]

Wtf?  That idiocy came out of nowhere.  [/quote]

OK, let's ask the group: Did your college prohibit drinking in the dorms, and if so (1) what were the restrictions, exactly and (2) how would you describe your college's culture?

Of all the places people I know have gone, the only one that prohibited drinking was Pepperdine. Others might have had a few rules, but they were minimal. (Obvs this was all pre-COVID)[/quote]

Based on experiences of a 2016 college grad:
1. Over 21 only; believe the main freshman dorm buildings were also fully dry, limits on amount of alcohol in room/shared suite fridge per occupant over 21 (21+ could have booze in a double or suite with underage roommates) and the limits were like one bottle of one, pack of beers, small bottle of liquor. There was an amnesty policy in place if anyone was in trouble and seeks help for oneself or a friend. The school in question was not a party school and police/resident life folks would regularly patrol and respond drinking activity in dorms. Police would actually issue the citation rather than just asking students to go home. 
2. Large public with significant population of commuter students; diverse; not a lot of rah-rah; present but not pervasive Greek life; no real artsy vibes[/quote]
