<p>Shrinkrap, To be honest, I’m not quite sure what a party school is! I’ve simply been told by others that Pepperdine is filled with “rich, drunk kids.” (That quote came from one of the three “party animal” students that I mentioned earlier! Surprise surprise!) However, at this stage in the search process, I’ve learned to take these opinions and warnings with a grain (or bucket) of salt.</p>
<p>Also, as someone who shies away from rambunctious high school parties, I am slightly baffled by your daughter choosing Duke. I’d always thought that it was a very studious school! Again, correct me if I’m wrong!</p>
