However, we are having/will have in depth discussions about what living in a city like Miami or New Orleans entails (which actually scares me much less than drunk frat culture, a whole other discussion to have).

The “drunk frat culture” (not necessarily at fraternities) can increase the risk (especially for first semester frosh) of problems due to unclear sexual consent while drunk, and being a target for a sexual predator while drunk (or drugged by the sexual predator adding date-rape drugs to one’s drinks).

Very long threads have been made about how colleges (mis)handle cases where sexual misconduct may have occurred. It is obviously better to avoid getting into such a situation in the first place.

https://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/media/Journal/082-Presley.pdf is a paper that describes college characteristics that influence college drinking.
