[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems unfair to dump on Bucknell specifically.

The culture of many of these smaller schools in the middle of nowhere (especially in places that are cold for 2/3 of the college year) are vey much the same.  Not much to do in the general area, and heavy drinking is the primary social scene.

Replace Bucknell with Bowdoin, Williams, Lafayette and about 100 other similar schools and you will get the same response.[/quote]

Are you kidding? NO ONE would put Bowdoin or Williams in the same category as Bucknell.
You must have a kid who went there, and are embarrassed.

According to UNIGO, at Bucknell, 55% of students describe greek life as "everything", while 0% at Bowdoin and Williams chose that option (in fact 91% and 100% respectively report that there is NO greek life on their campuses).

73% of Bucknell students say "there is some drinking going on every night of the week", whereas 27% of students at Bowdoin and 21% of students at Williams report that.

No comparison, as I said..[/quote]

The poster's point (I am an NP) still stands - small, remote colleges (even more so in cold temps) are more likely to have heavy drinking climates.[/quote]

The poster's point was pretty clear that small, remote schools located in colder climes more like to rely on drinking as a socializer. It doesn't need to be every night of the week but still predominate on the weekend.[/quote]
