I went to a Lutheran college that was filled with kids who had been the good kids in high school and never drank or such. They were always the ones that went crazy the first year at college. They would get drunk every night, sleep with tons of guys and cry about it all the next morning. They had no freedom in high school and they didn't know how to handle it when they got up here. I also came from a culture where alcohol was not taboo, although neither of my parents drink, and so i never say the big deal. I go out and have fun but i've never had any of the experiences my other friends did when they first started drinking in college.

I firmly believe its a stage that many, NOT ALL (before i have people jumping down my throat), go through and there's little we can do to stop it. If the campuses were more accepting and worked to keep it under control instead of being everyone's enemy they could cut down on some really dangerous activities like driving drunk, since you can't walk home without getting harassed, or being scared to bring a friend in to the hospital because he and you are underage.

Sidenote: A girl at my campus was at a party and someone slipped a date rape drug in her drink. She had to get her stomach pumped and spent the night in the hospital. She woke up to a Minor in Consumption ticket on her nightstand from the campus PD
