Binge drinking is a serious problem at colleges, but it’s not a Lehigh specific problem. Instead it’s a problem at the vast majority of non-commuter US colleges, most likely including every college on the OP’s list. Several surveys have found that ~40% of college students binge drink (defined as 5+ drinks on single occasion for men or 4+ for women). I’m sure a student can avoid or participate in excessive drinking at Lehigh or any other college on the list, depending on his/her choices. There was a study listed on the forum awhile back (https://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/media/Journal/082-Presley.pdf ) that showed the following characteristics that were more/less correlated with excessive drinking, listed roughly in order of strength:
College Being Located in Northeast*
Living in Fraternity Housing
Greek Member
Living on Campus
Being <21
Being Male
*May relate to colder winter weather decreasing likelyhood of leaving housing
