<p>Texasmother - my gut feeling is that the group of students who drink and party is very visible - not just at Elon but at other colleges as well. Their antics get noticed - get written up in the school paper, etc. I find it hard to believe that all students get caught up in this - particularly if they have other social options available to them. Please post in the fall and let us know how your D is doing - and her take on this issue. We are planning to visit Elon again in November - hoping this issue does not become a significant problem.</p>
