Yes, I was specifically talking about the university my children went to, because it's the only one I know anything about.

> because there is almost 0 supervision (I would call what dorm RAs do as more "emergency oversight") and freshman absolutely party the same as upperclassmen & women.

I know that there are schools where this is true. But I also know there is at least one school where this is certainly not true.

I have to add that every school I've been to, or known anyone from has had a sort-of freshman integration process for partying where the kids are driven to the houses and supplied with alcohol and encouraged to party and have sex. _Especially_ the women, it's actually incomparable. They are instantly picked over by the upperclassmen and delivered and encouraged to party every weekend of every semester. Sure they live in a dorm but everyone has a car and is very willing to give rides to others in exchange for not having to walk into a party alone.

I've never heard of a University where the freshman were magically diligent and contained, though I've never been to a private school (if that's the type of school you're talking about). I don't mean to imply anything, but is it possible that your child may have not explained all the intricacies of their experience, perhaps to save you the trouble of worrying and them the trouble of you worrying? I certainly did not tell my parents anywhere near what actually happened, and i still have never. As far as my mom knew, i was a model child in university and in the dorm.
