[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well my niece is having a great freshman year at UVA. How do I know? Instagram! The party pictures are there...[/quote]

How dumb can she be?  My friend's daughter was kicked out for underage drinking.  Both found on IG.  First one was a write up thru the RA.  The second was the school dean and a panel.  She was stripped of her merit scholarship.

Not sure that happens anymore. My dd attends a northern SLAC. Everyone is drinking and everyone is posting about it. [/quote]

Is that impacted by private vs public? I went to college in the 70s, many states had 18-yo drinking ages for awhile there, I went from a state with 18 to a state with 21 but it was a private college and absolutely no enforcement of drinking age, plus I'm pretty sure at the time you could legally give your kid (or your underage bride) alcohol (can't in my state now, I know, not even wine with dinner at home, I think they allow communion wine but that's all). Alcohol was built in to official celebrations (idk who paid for it though). Police could NOT come on campus without a warrant, although we were careful not to allow town kids to participate (small enough where we all knew each other). My impression is that the rules have definitely tightened up in the years since, to what extent affected by any changes in state laws I have no idea.

Not long after that my brother, who was 21 and in a state college, was caught with beer in the dorm with his roommate, just the two of them, got expelled. [/quote]
