<p>I’m also aware that at less selective schools there’s always almost going to be a more prevalent hookup, drug & alcohol scene</p>
<p>Well your “aware” is wrong. There are prevalent “hook ups,” drugs and booze at the tippy top schools as well. My nephew goes to Tufts. He and his pals head to MIT on weekends for - in his words - the best parties on earth. </p>
<p>Unless you go to a bible college, whenever you get a bunch of 18-22 year olds together, you’re going to see a lot of sex, booze, etc.</p>
<p>rice university-no frats -smart kids, who work hard</p>
<p>…and party. I’ve spent a few evenings at the bars immediately west of Rice.</p>
<p>Basically I just want to be around smart people with common sense. I was looking into SCU for a minute- then I watched a Delta Gamma video and a girl goes “I KNEW I wanted to join DG right when I walked in the door, like, I LOVED the outfits” <— those are the types I’m trying to avoid. Any</p>
<p>Oh brother…there are students obsessed with clothes/outfits/brands at EVERY school. you’re not going to avoid them at college…or in life.</p>
