<p>There <em>are</em> a lot of people at Bard who don’t drink/smoke weed/whatever. That said, the pretty big majority of kids at Bard do drink/smoke, and the people who don’t have a tendency to fall into a couple of broad stereotypes, which you may or may not find appealing. Not smoking or drinking <em>will</em> restrict your social life, especially if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t enjoy the kind of room parties you get here (and I really don’t know many people who do when they aren’t tipsy/high).</p>
