<p>If your goal in college is to “party the hardest”, you probably aren’t truly ready for a tough academic environment just yet. You will need every brain cell possible to get through your classes.</p>
<p>Arizona. You could go, party hard, kill a local, leave the scene, make the evidence disappear, get off with no charges filed, return home, and wreck the 125 year-old family business when you force dear old dad out. Then party hard and kill someone else.</p>
<p>Of course, it helps to have a billion or so behind the family name if you choose to go that route.</p>
<p>I think that is a bit unfair. Proper party technique can be important in the business world and can give you a real advantage if you can hold your liquor. Ibankers are notorious for testing the consumption ability of prospies and new hires.</p>
<p>Parties are not hard to find at most schools. So a partier will likely find almost all residential colleges acceptable, though one should certainly know to minimize impact on academic performance and realize that getting drunk, particularly in an environment full of drunk people, greatly increases the risk to one’s personal safety and security (fights, sexual assaults, etc.).</p>
<p>Also, students can certainly socialize and party without alcohol or other recreational drugs. Women’s schools, HBUs, and urban schools tend to have less alcohol use, but one should check each individual school if that is a concern.</p>
