<p>I have a friend who goes to Wash U and the social scene is 100% drinking. Not 99%, 100%. He claims there is one substance free dorm that is separate from the rest of the community and otherwise you have to party, and party hard, to have any kind of weekend planned.</p>
<p>If you don’t like drinking don’t go there. Not that people dont drink at Brown, but your odds are better at Brown.</p>
<p>I think that Wash U is one of the more overrated schools on USNews, etc, but still a great education. Personal preference mainly. Wash U does spend one of the highest amounts of money per student on food services so that’s really nice…</p>
