[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you go to a party. You hold a drink. No one knows you're not drinking. No one knows what's in the cup. Lots of ways to handle this responsibly, enjoy college life and have fun.

[/quote]oh no. They push it. They ask. They look inside your cup. You are found out and labeled.  It’s a real problem for the non-drinker. Plus, it’s not enjoyable to stand around while others are getting smashe

I have a non drinker who I really am certain will stay a non drinker and the issue fir him in looking at schools is that even going to those kind of sloppy college parties and holding a solo cup won’t be his thing so he’s really trying to figure out which schools will have other social opportunities. He really likes hiking o one thing we’ve been looking at are schools that have robust outdoors clubs. I was the light drinker in college that was okay with going to the parties, having one beer and hanging out. It wasn’t really my scene but I kind of adjusted myself to fit for better or worse. Some kids will do that. My DS is not like that also for better or worse. [/quote]

As mentioned, you can see survey results from different schools on UNIGO. The cultures vary greatly.[/quote]

Agreed. My kid is either a non-drinker (or at the very least a very moderate drinker whose social life doesn't revolve around alcohol.

She's happy at a rural, cold-weather school, with these Unigo results in the question about drinking:

0% “We”re not into drinking at all”
6% “Maybe a little, but it”s not a big thing”
69% “We only party on weekends”
25% “There”s some drinking happening every night”

I think she might have been less happy at this urban, warm-weather school, popular on DCUM:

0% “We”re not into drinking at all”
3% “Maybe a little, but it”s not a big thing”
20% “We only party on weekends”
77% “There”s some drinking happening every night”

I'll add that she also might have been less happy at this different rural, cold-weather school:

0% “We”re not into drinking at all”
1% “Maybe a little, but it”s not a big thing”
29% “We only party on weekends”
70% “There”s some drinking happening every night”

Not all small schools in rural, cold locations are the same.
