To play devil’s advocate, on the other side of that divide is the fact that college social life involves drinking. Colleges do not enforce parietals, nor do they attempt to keep the sexes apart.

A student entering college at 17 may never be able to drink legally at college–and may not be mature enough to stay out of trouble.
