Where did you transfer to, teacup?

I actually visited just recently and my experience there was quite similar to teacup’s. Everyone I met did drugs (to various extents) and while I didn’t see pressure to do them, it seemed as though there weren’t great alternatives. I guess, I’d expect them on campus, but I like to see other things to do. I was also reading the college newsletter and the dean was proposing other ideas to help limit underage drinking, such as the school purchasing the keg and carding the drinkers. I think one of the main contributors to the strong drinking/drug culture is that the parties are rarely broken up. So there aren’t really legal ramifications to doing it.

CC was actually my top choice college before visiting and now I’m having serious doubts about going there. I loved many things about the school, but there are a few issues that I don’t know if I can overlook. The professors were great, block plan awesome, dining hall okay, freshman dorms cozy, but upperclassmen dorms were spacious. Many people were outdoorsy and would head out to ski or bike on the weekends.
