I have worked at a small Catholic women’s college, a mid-sized Catholic university, a small alternative school, and a large state U … my daughter attended a very selective private women’s college. They were all party schools. Alcohol is everywhere. The way to resolve the situation is to find the friends who do not choose this lifestyle … and, in many cases, the residence halls where alcohol is not the predominant social influence. Most schools have quiet halls, substance free halls, or halls which have a reputation for being tamer. The answer? Choose a college based on what it has to offer academically and then select a living situation which supports the appropriate lifestyle.
