Some of them got so hooked that they never graduated, and had terrible grades the whole time they were there

My own two cents...

Alot of that may be due to inexperience. Kids go off to college who have been sheltered, and go hog wild. No experience in handling it.

I saw that happen at my own college, which was in my home town. We "townies" that had been drinking like fishes since we were old enough to convince someone to get us beer or let us into a frat party did much better. Most of the time I thought the frat kids acted like morons. Just meant we were sober enough at the end of the night to get the girls. ;P
