<p>Current carl here. Drinking is pretty prevalent on campus, especially at the beginning of the term before classes really heat up. There are a lot of parties, and underage students, like myself, have no issues getting alcohol. One of the previous posters mentioned that drinking is limited to the weekends, and from my limited experience (freshman) and what I hear that is completely true. People work during the week, and have fun on weekends. Also, the decision not to drink is respected, as long as you respect the choice of others to drink. I live on a sub-free floor, and at the parties I’ve been to people have been mostly cool with me not drinking. However if you try to preach to people about the evils of alcohol people will obviously be annoyed. It’s all about respecting other people’s decisions.</p>
