<p>I’m returning student.It is truly possible at conn to fit in and not drink. Of course there are people who will look down upon Blackstone(substance-free dorm), but there are plenty of camels who do not care about such preferences and base friendships on personality and character(not that drinking and such qualities are mutually exclusive).</p>
<p>Also,don’t worry too much about not being in a substance free dorm; I know many social people who don’t live in Blackstone or substance free living floors and do not drink. Of course there will be pressure to drink, but my friends in the situation have found friends outside the dorm.</p>
