[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is looking for a school with a non-drinking crowd, pick a school near stuff to do.  My DS at a college goes out to dinner, sees concerts, attends professional sporting events and otherwises uses the city where his college is located. He also drinks some, but he has friends that don't and he has lots of things to do other than partying.[/quote]

Too often the only real social option for students at small, cold weather, rural schools revolves around drinking alcohol.[/quote]

Then those are crap schools with students who lack the imagination to create other things to do and an administration that sits back and shrugs at alcohol culture while failing to encourage other activities. [/quote]

This is not true. Lots of heavy drinking at top notch schools--ask any student at MIT, for example. It is important to be at a school which offers alternative non-drinking focused activities. Very easy to find at large schools and at urban schools, not so easy at small rural cold weather schools.[/quote]

Lol I'm a previous (nondrinking) poster who said I was fine at my big university... which was MIT.  There were lots of activities, both administration-sponsored and otherwise, with and without alcohol.  I assume there are plenty of happy non-drinkers at small, rural, cold weather schools as well (I acquired my nondrinking habits in my small, rural, cold weather town of origin).[/quote]
