<p>Look at the college website and use the search box. You can sometimes find it simply searching on alcohol, but more often it will be under Institutional Research, sometimes it’s under “Safety” or “Security” …that’s where I look and it’s almost always “findable” but not prominent. Compared to 2005 when my oldest was preparing for college, many more colleges are reporting on these types of statistics.</p>
<p>One last thought, when you are walking around campus look in the windows and at the trash…we were on one campus in NYS and the trash cans were full of empties and in the windows were stacked beer cans and sometimes you’d spot a crushed can in the bushes. Even my son was rather surprised and he’s no angel but it was just too much even for him and he was actually the one who pointed it out. At his older brother’s college you couldn’t have empties of anything in any dorm rooms regardless of the age of the occupants let alone the windows.</p>
