Actually this is the thread I meant to paste, although the one I posted above is good too. Please read it, it’s very good.

My DS visited last fall as part of the Fly-In program. This program was just students, no parents, and they stayed overnight with a host student. DS said his host was also not a big drinker and neither were his friends. They liked to hang out and “chill”. He also said the other people at the fly-in event were very similar to him. They talked more each other’s interests and what they were going to study, and not so much “I can’t wait to college so I can drink every night”. There will be those people at every college including Tulane, but Tulane’s campus culture does not emphasize drinking any more than any other college.
