I certainly hope not as that would make you entirely hypocritical. Dear Jonathan,

Have you ever broken the speed limit by one mile per hour? I certainly hope not as that would make you entirely hypocritical.

I'd just like to tell you that your blog has been much more sincere and convincing than any professional prop. for the school I've seen, and I (and other students like me) appreciate the insights. I'm still not sure if I'm applying, but it seems like this is one school that is worth the reach. Good luck with med schools and thanks again. -T Hello,

I can't emphasize enough how thankful I am I didn't have to deal will all the alcohol saturated crap that permeates most colleges. I had a lot of fun in college and made friendships that remain to this day, but without any of the regrets that come with drinking. My wife and I went to Vanderbilt for graduate school so a couple times a year we get a call from the development office asking us give to the University. I will never give a dime to Vanderbilt. I have four kids who will be going to college in a few years and they won't even consider a school that allows students to drink. Why is this pledge voluntary? What part of illegal do you not understand? You make students promise not to cheat academically but you can't make them promise to obey the law regarding the drinking age? What a joke.
