<p>And just to put my 2 cents in. Any college campus can be a party campus if you hang out with those people and in those areas. Cal Poly is by no means one of the major party schools. If your son does not want to be part of that scene he will easily be able to avoid it, and should not have a problem being sucked into it. However if you son wants to party he will have access to such means. It is basically impossible to go to a “party free” college. But if your concern is that he will be sucked into the party scene at Cal Poly, you have no reason to worry, as this should not happen if he doesn’t want it to.</p>
