<p>Firstly, Alice Ann, your comments are getting slightly ridiculous. I hope you’re not a student at Wake Forest because, if you are, I would be embarrased. </p>
<p>Secondly, there is a visitation policy at Wake, but ginnyvere has proven that it’s not widely-known and subsequently not enforced…which is a good thing. '07-'08 was the first year for the policy, but it has near-zero affect on studnet life.

If you asked me to list problems with Wake Forest, I would have to say “Ask me again later,” because I would literally have to sit down and think about an answer. Furthermore, the issue of drinking would definitely not be on the list. </p>
<p>Drinking at Wake Forest is like any university in America: anyone who wants to drink alcohol will be able to do so, fairly easily. I have visited friends at several other universities and have not felt like Wake Forest had rampent alochol abuse in comparison. Simply put, there is so much school work at Wake that students don’t have time to wildly abuse alcohol. Some students choose to go out on weekdays, mainly Wednesday night, but for the most part, drinking is done Friday and Saturday nights. It isn’t even unusual to go to the library on a Saturday afternoon and see a lot of students there. </p>
<p>The senior tradition you’re referring to is called “Senior Fifth” and is held during the last football tailgate of the season. Traditionally, seniors who choose to participate, attempt to finish a fifth of alcohol before kickoff. While this is not a responsible way to drink alcohol, it isn’t forced upon seniors and is purely a personal choice. I’m not 100% positive, but I think that there is a group on-campus that has started to organize an event for seniors that is a sober alternative to senior-fifth. Nevertheless, traditions like these aren’t unique to Wake. If your daughter doesn’t drink she won’t be ostracized, there are plenty of people who don’t drink. </p>
<p>Finally, I really dislike college guidebooks. They give a very brief synopsis that usually places way to much emphasis on a particular stereotype. My personal advice is to trust the impressions you get from visiting campus.</p>
