I want to weigh in and say that although 11 people being hospitalized sounds bad, the fact that they were is actually a good thing. Regardless of whether parties happen on campus or off, there are going to be a select few people who drink too much than they can handle. It doesn’t matter whether the university “allows” it or not. The fact that there was so much security at NOD who didn’t take chances and sent people to the hospital who were on the edge says something about how Rice treats its student body. No other university takes safety as seriously as Rice does, and that’s saying something.

For those of you on the forum wondering, there was also a large population who didn’t go to NOD. I personally spent the evening with friends and went to Nodgeball. So if NOD isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other activities for students to do.
