Drinking Culture at Yale

<p>As a parent I was a little worried about the college drinking, sex week, etc. But so far, it seems as all my worries were unfounded. Both my daughter & her roommate are not drinkers and in my daughter’s suite, there is only 1 girl who is a big partier. But even she began to tone it down when her grades slid after the first semester. All them have tough classes & are active in their various extra-curriculars, and socialize some, but they are way too busy to join the party-crowd. My daughter wonders how the partiers do it, given the rigor of the Yale classes. I suspect there are probably more academically-minded students than partiers at Yale, but the partiers are probably way more visible. The residential colleges host tons of social activities and I think it would be pretty easy to find which-ever group a student is looking for.</p>
