<p>I have a son senior, and a daughter, junior, in very different colleges. One is at a very small public liberal arts college, (CTCL college) where drugs are more the issue, the other at a small-medium private top liberal arts college where alcohol abuse and binge drinking is a huge issue. </p>
<p>Both of my kids continue to find their way, but have complained about how the drugs and/or the alcohol for so many students becomes the absolute focus of parties/socializing etc. The issue of sexual assault and of alcohol poisoning on their campuses is more significant at the private LAC. My frustration is how the colleges appear to turn a blind eye. They provide required quality alcohol education for all students but that seems to be where their involvement ends. So when students get DUI’s or are hospitalized for alcohol poisoning there is little real follow up after to continue to educate… Wondering about other parents’ experiences</p>
