[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Np. My dd is not a drinker or a partier. She wanted a smaller school because of smaller class size and access to professors. She has found that bc of the remote location and the lack of other activities on campus (which may have to do with Covid and the fact that the student center is being renovated), most social love revolves around drinking. She realizes that she would be better off at a larger school. Even schools with a “party school” reputation have lots of groups and activities to join and people can find their niche. I went to a so called party school but I hated going to parties. I had good friends that also hated parties and we did other things. However, I also had friends who partied and while I didn’t party with them, we did other things. One of the benefits of a big school. I think my dd would have been better off at a school in the 5,000-10,000 range. She will likely end up at a school with around 20,000 people (as a transfer) and I hope she is happier.[/quote]

Thank you so much for this. Hope she likes her new school. [/quote]

To avoid this, we always asked what there is to do on the weekends.

Some schools (like we heard Conn), drinking is the main menu item.We avoided those(my kid's preference).

Others sponsor fun events (like paintball) purposefully so that kids who don't want to party still can have fun.

Again, UNIGO has survey data on this.[/quote]
