Re Drinking.
One of the things my D likes about being at Hamilton is that when she’s at a party everyone knows each other (or most of the people) and that allows her to feel safe. She visited a friend at a somewhat larger school and felt substantially less safe at a party because the girl she was visiting knew few there and drank past her limit; D felt alone in keeping her friend safe. D says at Ham there is a great support network of friends to help fend off unwanted advances, get friends home safely, and to be the sober driver. It’s a really tight-knit community. She also does not feel any pressure to drink and notes that athletes in-season can’t drink so there is always a cohort of people who go to parties but do not drink.
