Are there any "wet campuses"?

Rice University is a wet campus. The alchohol policy is very student friendly. Last year a campus police officer (they are real Houston cops, not just rent-a-cops) walked in on a party I was at - an 18 year old was doing a keg stand, and all that happened was we offered the officer a turn on the keg and she laughed and left. Some of them hang out with students when they are off-duty. Its a good way for things to be. Student drinking is tolerated so nobody is afraid to get help when someone drinks too much.

I have lots of friends that goto rice... one night somehow we set a trashcan on fire. The cops came and helped us piss it out. It was awesome.

Yeah, if you were 21 you could drink in the dorms here at Madison too, but the housefellow drinking was all with 18-19 year olds.

It really depends on your housefellow / RA I think. Some don't care and others wont tollerate anything they know about.

Well no campus/university tolerates illegal behavior on campus, just because the RA didn't report it doesn't mean that the University wouldn't have taken action against the underage drinkers.

Yeah, I know that no college would have a pro-underage drinking policy, but having underage drinking in a dorm and having the person who is responsible for reporting the drinking taking part too was an example I made to show that Madison doesn't have a very tough system for cracking down on it.

There are some "learning community" dorms on campus that are geared towards zero tollerance for everything, but for the other dorms here you can pretty much get away with anything unless you're being a moron about it.

University of Arizona claims to be, but one of their on-campus restaurants (in the union) serves alcohol when they cater an event and there's been talk of allowing alcohol to be served to anyone 21+... and I've seen with my own eyes that some of the astronomy professors have liquor cabinets in their offices. In dorms, they will allow anyone 21+ to drink in their room if there are no minors present and the door is closed.

And every spring there's a $hitload of booze on the mall, running right through the middle of campus. I think it's for some sort of sporting event, but I never really paid attention. Does basketball season run into March? We don't really have any pride for football or any other sports....

March Madness ring a bell?

In Canada some beer companies sponsor frats.

Most universities in Canada have bars on campus--and I'm not sure about this but I heard that if you're 18 and a student you can drink in a campus bar even if your province's drinking age is 19.

No you don't, it's Canada. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

At Madison we can drink in the dorms if we're 21, and there isn't anybody under 21 in the room. Starting this year if you're 21, but your roomate isn't, you can't drink in your room though. Otherwise I don't think most housefellows really care, as long as they don't see you drinking.

The student union also sells beer, and in my experience a lot of the bars and restaurants around here don't card.

YOyoYOhowsDAjello mentioned the learning communities not having any tolerance, but at least in Chadbourne/Barnard there aren't any special rules.

My school has a place that I guess can be best described as a sports bar/grill...and it has about 5 beers on tap, and some in bottles you can buy. But you have to stay inside the place to consume it.

NDSU is a dry campus but I'd say there's a lot of drinking - including underage. For some reason there's a strong obbession over getting extremely wasted. The area has seen several deaths from people drinking way too much. I know this year some chick almost died from doing vodka through a bong. I really don't enjoy hard liquor at all or getting wasted - I've never thrown up and I don't care to ever make love to a toliet for hours.

It's pretty hard to get cought for underage drinking unless you're doing something else stupid in the first place. The punishments aren't that bad either, at the larger parties the crowd is told to leave and the owners of the house or what not get yelled at...

lol I heard there is a real drinking problem up in ND, SD Wisconsin etc.

I thought they were harder on checking that sort of stuff over there to promote a healthy learning environment and such.

University of Oklahoma used to be but a series of alcohol poisinings led to a ban.

Not in my experience. It isn't as crazy as Sellery here (Barnard), but I can't say the housefellows are really any different as far as enforcement. I know that some of the housefellows go out themselves...

I guess it boils down to the "depends on your HF" theory then.

My udergrad school had a bar of campus plus two other places that served beer. Open containers of liquor were not allowed outside on campus (never stopped most anyone I knew)...but I think drinking in the dorms was perfectly acceptable. I dunno though as I lived off campus and all the good parties were off campus or at other universities.

UT is dry. frats can't even have kegs at their parties.

Bentley is wet, provided you are 21.

However, the alcohol policy is extremely lax; if I am not mistaken, you need to be written up four times in a year for underage drinking before their are any adverse effects. It is extremely difficult to get written up four times in one year, as most of the time one gets caught, he is allowed off with a warning. I only know of one person who was placed on Housing Probation following four writeups.

My school also allows keg parties in the dorms, provided everyone attending is 21 and the party is registered with campus police.

We also have an on campus bar, although few people have luck getting in there while underage.

LoL do you think that really works? There was an alcohol ban at Cal for a good 6 months or so before it was repealled. You think the frats really stopped partying? It was just all underground.. Heh

That said we can drink i n our dorms if we're 21+ (but oyu have to drink alone). But who cares...With only 1 yr of guaranteed housing, who the hell is in the dorms anyways? Usually just the nerdy kids who want to stay, and mostly 1st years, and some athletes.

Ohio U. defintely not dry.

University of Guelph had a draft beer tap right beside the soda machine in the cafeterias when I first started there. The canned beer was right below the pop in the cooler. People were going through 3 meal plans a semester. "yea mom, I have been eating tons".

I am so transferring to that college...

Had is the key word. The year before a guy had been served to excess at a campus bar and died by choking on his own vomit. New rules came in and you could not use your meal plan to buy booze except at the one fancy restaurant. The campus went dry for 2 weeks for "punishment" and then all was normal. I think there were like 6 bars on campus alone. Never any need to leave to go drinking thats for sure.

A fellow Walthamer! I go to Brandeis.

The alcohol policy here is lax, but our passive-aggressive student body won't ever ask you to STFU instead they just call the cops, but nobody ever gets in trouble.
