<p>You make a good point. </p>
<p>The university should not be arranging for hosts to take kids to parties. I was thinking more in terms of safely showing them that there is a nightlife at Bama.</p>
<p>I don’t know what hosts are told, but they are probably instructed to avoid putting the high school student in any drinking situations. </p>
<p>However, in this case, the prospective student didn’t want to be put with a quiet “sit in his dorm” host. He wanted to see if Bama had the same kind of “night life” as Umich. Being stuck with a quiet bookworm wouldn’t work. That sort of thing is the “kiss of death” for many prospective students if you’ve read such things happening on other CC forums. </p>
<p>So, perhaps there’s a way to show a prospective student the frats and such “from afar,” without actually taking them into parties.</p>
<p>But, I agree, college students shouldn’t be taking high school kids drinking.</p>
