Party Schools

Instilling good habits and beliefs in your college bound child is good. However, peer pressure and independence along with a family history of problems can still make one concerned. Hopefully no-one's school is on this list below because that does not help either. But regardless, sheltering a child from these things just makes them less prepared for the world after college; where consequences can be much greater.

From Princeton Review:

But the truth is, pretty much every school you go to (at least in the U.S.) is going to offer evenings in cramped frat houses with kegs of beer, people making out in hallways and toilets full of unflushed vomit. Even MIT -- which is, of course, notorious for its nerdiness -- is known for having killer parties. So fret not -- no need to transfer just because your school isn't high up on the list.The full list after the jump.
