<p>thanks for the reply, fireflyscout. some related questions: </p>
<p>1) what is the legal drinking age in MN?</p>
<p>2) Isn’t there a little strip of a street just outside of campus where alcohol is served? Why wouldnt the students choose to drink in those places? Or is question #1 affect this answer?</p>
<p>3) how prevalent is drinking at Carleton? I believe I read in Princeton Review that on any weekend about 33 pct of the carleton campus is drinking alcohol. </p>
<p>It sounds like, then, that this segment of the student population would be drinking in their rooms, assuming the rooms are on a ‘dry floor’ - and their roommates approved of the alcohol consumption.</p>
<p>Good to hear that ‘most carleton students are pretty respectful of their roommates’. But I am naively thinking that if I want to have a drink, and have a party, and my roommate says no, I am going to not like it and I can imagine ‘bad blood’.</p>
<p>I assume that a student who was against drinking would always opt for the dry floor. That would head such ‘bad blood’ incidents off at the pass. Since it sounds like the admin separates wet and dry by floor, I am curious what would occur when the requestors for dry only take up a fraction of the floor. What would the Carl admin do in this case?</p>
<p>And, Since I am on the subject, I guess I will sift this question into the post…</p>
<p>what is the prevalence and the use of non prescription recreational drugs at Carleton? I guess one would not go down the street to consume these drugs, so I assume it would be in the dorm rooms. I further assume it would be the same dynamic as with alcohol.</p>
<p>Finally, now that I have asked about booze and drugs, I will go for the trifecta and ask about the prevalence of sex in dorm rooms. Please excuse the naivete. I never went to college, and only can guess about things like this.</p>
<p>Since I assume there are no ‘monastic floors’ or abstinence floors’, I assume the common sense ‘respect your roommate’ rule would prevail in this case - true? Does this kind of think happen a lot?</p>
