Sure partying and drinking students all act the same but one side may hap party and drink more often or be engaged in more non academic pursuits. Statu

An anecdote doesn't defeat a generalization there are always exceptions to the rule. if you think generally kids plopped in raleigh from their small town bubble don't have some different views from kids that grew up here you're simply mis-informed.

NC state acceptance rate 43%
UNC acceptance rate 28%

If you can't acknowledge that means they accept lower quality students who are more prone to do stupid stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i dunno doesnt matter to me
Um, then how do you explain Tulane, with a 26% acceptance rate and a #1 party school ranking, and, say...VCU with a 81% acceptance rate and a #109 party school ranking?

Your premise is ridiculous.

I don't know much about Tulane, but VCU has a significant population of commuters which could explain its lack of party school status.

OP I am sorry you encountered this behavior.

And 38, 30, 29, 30, 9, 11, 17.

And you haven't provided any "averages". Lets see your data correlating party school rankings and acceptance percentage for the top 100 party schools, adjusted for factors such as on-campus drug and alcohol awareness programs, percent of students living on campus, percent of students in greek life, etc.

I think maybe we're confusing "partying" with "when partying, says and does terrible things."

There are way too many rich kids in good schools on the "best of" list who rape, beat up, and verbally assault people while having "fun" for me to try to treat some kids at the Cook Out on Western like they'd have all been much better behaved if that same crowd attended UNC or Harvard or... pick a school.

Drunk college kids are drunk college kids and they do and say stupid crap.

Duke's players are the worst.

State's fans, across the board, are the worst
