<p>I can certainly sympathize with the OP. My spouse and I never drank, and our children don’t want to be around drinkers in college. My suggestions are:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Look at Christian universities that have no-alcohol policies. Not all are like Liberty and Bob Jones (which I wouldn’t even let my children attend). Some may be more conservative than you’d want, but many are not. Unfortunately, the less conservative ones tend to be less strict on alcohol. For those of us who are moderate to liberal Christians, that poses a problem.</p></li>
<li><p>Investigate colleges with substance-free housing. Most of the students I know who’ve gone that route chose that housing themselves. They weren’t pressured to by their parents, nor are they recovering alcoholics. Moreover, the rules are much more strict in those dorms. If you violate the substance-free policy, they will usually kick you out, period.</p></li>
<li><p>Investigate other types of residence hall learning communities that attract students who are less likely to be interested in partying. Several employees of college housing departments have told me that limited visitation (for the opposite gender) dorms or learning communities with a heavy service component are good options. Limited visitation dorms tend to attract Muslim students as well as Christian students. Service learning communities get students who want to spend weekends helping in a soup kitchen or tutoring underprivileged students, not drinking themselves into oblivion.</p></li>
<li><p>Get a compatible roommate. This should be #1 on my list. Unfortunately, colleges won’t match students up by whether or not they drink. However, there are college roommate matching websites out there, and some students are meeting potential roommates on “accepted student” websites run by the college or on the college’s Facebook pages. Lots of students are eager to find non-drinking roommates.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Good luck.</p>
