<p>I would like to know if NU is a party school? or how much of an alcohol or drug partying atmosphere there is? I realize it is in the city and anything is possible but I want to know what the attitude and atmosphere of most of the students is. Just a concerned parent...</p>
<p>thanks so much for your reply. i appreciate your insight into the situation. of course, we realize all campuses have their share of drinking. we just didn’t want our daughter to go to a school with a definite drinking all the time atmosphere.</p>
<p>Well, “drinking all the time atmosphere” can be found pretty much anywhere, like you said. There isn’t a ton of partying during the week here, although there are definitely people who do it. Still, the very large majority of people I know are pretty responsible about drinking when they have school/work the next day. On weekends there’s a good social/party scene, but there isn’t a huge pressure to go out every night until sunrise. If a student wants to, they can, but if not there are plenty of other cool things to do.</p>
