Each year, popular culture news outlets such as Maxim magazine often involve the biggest “party” universities in the United States. Many of these universities are located in smaller towns throughout the United States, where the student enrollment numbers match or exceed that of the city population.

Collaborative efforts detail the negative side effects of problematic alcohol consumption, including drinking and driving, engaging in a physical altercation, and experiencing unwanted sexual behavior, to name a few.² This culture is so common that it has even been referred to as a “rite of passage” by some researchers.³ To better understand the prevalence of drug and alcohol behavior in these settings, this study considers official police data in one college town.
