<p>Eh. I enjoy it once in awhile, but getting wasted every week, etc. is NOT my idea of fun. So, even if I enjoy parties, I won't be pressure to drink, will I?</p>
<p>not really</p>
<p>Be strong and resist the pressure. If people laugh at you or call you a lunatic (like they called me), just remember you're the one who won't be breaking laws and ruining your mind.</p>
<p>If you want to drink, then do it. If you want to avoid it, then do that. It's really up to you. Pressure should have nothing to do with it. Really, it's not that hard to say no or to completly avoid it all together.</p>
<p>Depends on where you are going. If you are heading to a top 10 party school like Wisc-Madison or OhioU, there will probably be some pressure, but most other places the people that really care about whether you drink you can avoid if you wish.</p>
<p>That depends on a lot of factors
*The school
*The dorm- I go to a school that always consistently was in the top 25 of party schools. I think a couple years ago it was #11. However, I live in the honors dorm. We have fun by watching movies or going to hockey games. I've never once been pressured to drink. However, the dorms next to mine are the freshmen towers (10 floors times 2 buildings), and well, things are a little different over there
*The people you meet- Even if you're in a bad dorm you'll still meet people in your classes. Just like everything in life, drinking is about who you associate with, and your own personal decisions. Even if there is pressure, it's still possible to resist it, if you don't mind having movie nights, or finding other things to do</p>
<p>I have no problem with people who don't drink but I HATE people who think they're better than you because they don't drink or they think drinking is some great evil.</p>
<p>i REALLY think we should put a sticky for all these types of questions. i've seen so many threads about drinking and whatnot.</p>
<p>no one pressures you.</p>
<p>no pressure at all</p>
<p>Pretty much depends on who you hang out with. Some people will pressure you to drink with them, but hey you pick your friends and who you hang out with. If you can't handle the pressue, hang out with other people.</p>
<p>I'm not in college, but I'm pretty sure if you aren't the partying type, most of your friends in college won't be either. It just doesn't make sense that you would make a bunch of friends who are party animals and would shove a beer bong down your throat against your will. Just be yourself and meet like-minded people and you will be fine.</p>
<p>i agree with icarus.</p>
<p>Thanks! It's nice to know. :)</p>
<p>If you don't drink, tell people why and they should respect it. If you do, dont be a freshman and only drink corona or something stupid llke that. corona is considered mexican **** down there, and they just put a nice name on it and market it well up here... grab a case of busch light and pound, don't waste your money on miller or even bud light- you'll have too many cases to buy.</p>
<p>There are two types of schools:</p>
<ol>
<li>Schools that generally don't have drinking on campus:</li>
</ol>
<p>Brigham Young University</p>
<ol>
<li>Schools that generally do have drinking on campus:</li>
</ol>
<p>Every other University in the nation.</p>
<p>So you'll probably be surrounded by drinkers...but it's your choice whether or not you want to join in.</p>
