Binge Drinking On College Campus

I am a student of 26 years, I do not really drink, and I went to college after 4 years and currently in a community college. The college I went to 4 years at age 18 was a very small, kind of conservative college and I stayed in a first year alone / dormitory dry (but not all follow the rule sec), but I rarely seen or heard someone drinking or drunk. Or use illegal drugs, but you heard of this happening often. In my community college, I have not yet found someone illegally drinking on campus and rarely have I heard stories of someone drunk the night before leaving school to go get drunk during the day. And in college I went, people usually drank on weekends and in the dorms and off campus desinated places where they could drink. But a Lifetime movie I just watched showed a dramatic story of a young girl who loses her bf of drinking their first year of college. And you heard the news and some wild parties and spring breaks, they continue. So nature makes children colleges (especially females) resembles drunk "sluts" when it is only a small minority of them who do. But then again I went to college, are not known for their party. And I know binge drinking on campus events, but do you think the media blows it out of proportion?

I think college parties represented in popular culture is only a small percentage of college students real, but it really depends on the school you go. Drinking is very common (at least in my university), but wild parties are not as common.

Yes. I love UW!

I think that is the number one problem on college campuses, frankly. It appears that you have had experiences that are outside the norm. Go to any public school - a university-funded - and consumption is so prevalent on weekends and weeknights quite frequently - that the epidemic.

It is more common among young undergraduates - freshmen and sophomores - who are not prepared to balance the rigors of their educational experience with the freedoms away from parental supervision. As a student at Texas A & M, I saw a number of these freshmen come to college, live in our dorms, crazy with alcohol, skipping class, standing all night, etc.
