<p>Sorry. Don’t buy it. The culture of a campus, and as set by its administrators and tradition, sets the tone for the college experience. If this was not the case, the experience of HYP, AWS and students of dozens of other places would simply be clones of each other - after all, they are accepting the very same students. And yet, from campus to campus, with students from the same pool, one can find huge differences in binge drinking, drugging, sexual harrassment, hazing, time spent in the library, support of the football team, etc. Yes, ultimately, the decisions are those of the kids, but they also see their campus as encouraging or discouraging particular choices, and can choose according. Once you accept that BYU and Yale have different binge drinking rates, the rest is all a matter of degree.</p>
