<p>my sisters ex(none him for 3 years tho) of a few weeks...went tO UChicago the most anti-PARTY person on the planet(or close to the most anti-party person) and he fit in perfectly he is also veryy smart...his way of having fun was during the season constantly going to Baseball games( i dont know which one i hate baseball! AND EVERY SPORT u can think of im as anti-sports as my my sisters ex is anti party and he hates partying A LOT!)</p>

<p>CMU kids (a quarter) party a lot at frats, social settings, and at Upitt which is just 5 minutes away. My floor has about a quarter of kids who have gotten multiple warnings for alcohol/partying.</p>

<p>unless you want to go to an extremely religious university or a military academy you'll have to deal with drinking/smoking. if it bothers you just don't do it, period. and you can have non-idiotic/freakish/nerdy friends w/o drinking yourself i think its sad that no1 seems to recognize that. plus you can make friends with drinkers w/o doing it yourself . . .</p>

<p>yeah definately not MIT. MIT is frat heavy..</p>

<p>Definitely not Lehigh- huge frat scene, small town so lots of partying, drinking is the biggest weekend event. I agree with other posters, choose a school with a small Greek scene and a community that has lots of on-campus events. My friend goes to William & Mary; she loves it and the students, she says, don't party/drink nearly as much as at other schools.</p>

<p>i don't know if UC Santa Cruz is a top 40 school or not, but no matter what ranking it has, you should even apply there as a backup. because about 75-97% of the students there are the tofu eating, birkenstock-wearing crowd!</p>

<p>and i mean the epitome of it. they have a tradition of running out on a field naked during the first rain of the season.</p>

<p>"uw-madison, ohio university-athens, and lehigh university just to name a few."</p>

<p>My neighbor's son is at Wheaton in IL & LOVES it! The students sign a contract at the beginning of ther education & adhere to it. The football team did a one-week mission together in Europe to help bond & "do good" at the same time. It sounds like an amazing place for the right kids. (It has a definite Christian persona.)</p>
