@merc81 Right. S19 is at Bowdoin. I assume you know that. But this is why I always say not to listen to people on CC about parties, etc., since there are parties and drinking at all schools. That story above is what it is. And, yes, the police in Brunswick handled a situation in a certain way that I believe was not the way the college would have liked. Another recent story has some 21 year olds getting tickets for having a party (at a house off but near campus) because there were minors there. The minors just got warnings. So the lesson is this - if you are 21 and have a party at an off campus house, do not serve under aged kids alcohol.

Again, every school has drinking but some schools are better at having other options for the kids on weekend nights so that they can have fun otherwise. Bowdoin has choices for kids.

Before S19 decided on Bowdoin, we talked to kids in our neighborhood who are there. They told us that kids who choose not to drink will have plenty of other socializing options. But, like I said in my above post, the kids we know at Hamilton thought it was harder to be social without drinking. I said it was anecdotal and it seems other posters above have kids at Hamilton and believe this is not the case. I’m glad to hear that.
