<p>Don’t pay attention to the “top party schools” lists. Some excellent academic institutions make the list every year. Wisconsin has made that list but is large enough for those who don’t do the party scene (“study hard, party hard” means do the first, second optional). At UW there are some dorms with more of a party reputation, choices can be made. UW is a good school for those who choose not to drink- my son’s recent experience is an example. Also, college freshmen tend to try things their first semester away from home. Those at restrictive colleges may be the worst offenders. It is not the job of colleges/universities to police students. It is the job of those empoyed by dorms to be sure rules are followed- a complaint higher up is warranted if in dorm drinking interferes. Perhaps those with a strong Greek presence/influence may be the worst?</p>
<p>btw- the title sounds opposite to the intention of the starting post.</p>
