[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Socially - a total party school.  Academically - He wishes he followed his sister to Gtown. [/quote]

If your Dc thinks W&M is a total party school they must wish to never leave their dorm.[/quote]

+1. Poor kid must be thanking their lucky stars they didn’t attend UVA or UNC or— God Forbid— an SEC school. It isn’t even a “work hard, play hard” school. More like “work hard, have some fun with friends, maybe at a party, or maybe watching movie in the dorm or playing ultimate or nerfing and then going to Wawa” school.   I literally LOl’d.  So, thanks for the chuckle PP. [/quote]

I think there's definitely a sizable percentage of the school that has a work hard play hard mentality. About a third of the school is in Greek life, and even more when you consider students in "frat-adjacent" orgs like club sports or MCOs that throw a lot of parties as well. However, it's very easily avoidable.[/quote]
I'm a homebrewer and wine drinker so definitely not a teetotaler, but why is excessive drinking always seen as a positive in the college forum? [/quote]

I had the time of my life at my big party state school.  I think everyone I was friends with developed binge drinking problems.  I was out almost every night of the week.

I have two sons and I prefer not to send them to big party schools like the one I attended.  IMO, huge greek presence and/or huge drinking culture is a drawback.

They will find fun anywhere, yes--anywhere---but it will be on a smaller scale and less of the school.  We have two neighbors whose sons barely eeked out a 2.0gpa this year...yeah, they are going to school to get a job--not gain an alcohol abuse problem.[/quote]
