My sister lives in the NE where this is a huge trend. She and 3 other moms got together and decided their boys would go to Europe instead. The boys loved the idea, of course. All of them had frequent flyer miles to get them there so costs were somewhat defrayed.

Parents knew drinking would be part of the plan, but weren’t worried about them ‘going crazy’ as is done at Senior Week. In her view, the sole purpose of SW (Ocean City, MD is quite popular there) is to party–drinking, pot smoking, hooking up, etc, etc.

The Europe trip went very well. Boys stayed in hostels and saw the sights in 4 or 5 countries. Two of them had been German students in high school and that added to their focus. Glad I didn’t have to deal with this—not expected in my area. I’ve heard the horror stories via my sis–sounds like lots of them do get into trouble.
