<p>Every school can be better, but your denigration of the school is irksom to all of us who are grads. The school has been a top rated academic school by numerous sources for years. I am a physician and have trained at and taught at IVY league schools. My fellow almni are similarly succesful in their careers.</p>
<p>PA definitely has some of the more restictive alcohol laws which can lead to troubles, particularly for out of staters. For underage drinkers there is a law against purchase (for instance paying to get into a party), transportation (which has been interpretted to be even carrying a glass of beer across a room) and consumption. Even for adults the locations for purchase are limited to ditributers where one must purchase at least a case, bars or restaurants for six packs, and state owned stores or all other alcohol. </p>
<p>Partying occurs at all schools. When I was a student at Scranton and visited friends at other schools, particularly state universities, they made Scranton look tame by comparison. I invite you to go to PSU, WVU, U of Florida, etc and see what those schools are like in regards to partying! In the interim, I would ak you to discontiue your diatribe.</p>
