<p>Penn is a bigger party school than NYU - fact. I know from having spent time at Penn. </p>
<p>Just because you heard a rumor, doesn’t mean it’s true. There are a number of people at NYU who are straight edge. There isn’t much drinking in dorms because RAs usually shut down parties, so no one parties in the dorms. </p>
<p>There are people who smoke, but that’s easily avoidable.</p>
