Any college can be a "party school" if the kid wants to party. Parent's should start asking themselves why their brats go berserk once they hit campus. Could it be poor up-bringing? I don't want to hear the "peer pressure" argument. A majority of kids don't have a problem. The fact is that many parents, and consequently their kids, lack good judgment, common sense, discipline, personal responsibility, and haven't been held accountable for their behavior. Kids go to college for an education and to grow up. If they fail on the basic level of being unable to control their drinking they don't belong in college. They should be home with mommy and daddy so they can be watched.

They used to make 3.2% beer available to kids between 18-21. That seemed to be a reasonable compromise. It also helped "ease" the young adults into drinking responsibly.
