DD has found Rice to be very accepting of whatever you choose. People are at the same party with beer, soda or whatever in their glass. You can go down the hall and watch Planet Earth with whatever is in your glass or go over to one of the wilder parties. No one judges based on alcohol.

But know that it is a wet campus and drinking is tolerating within the rules (and otherwise I am sure). I actually think that that very fact itself makes for less pressure. When it is in the open and the rules are clear, there is more tolerance. It is also controlled on campus instead of having to go off campus. There is a lot of benefit for that in itself. There is relative safety and control.

However, they should be very honest on their roommate form (don’t show it to Mom). Rice is good at matching kids if they are honest.
