Drinking on College Campuses Underage students drinking on college campuses has been a problem for countless years. Parents and teachers are addressing the problem of student drinking and looking at their college life in a positive way. They understand that students are studying, making new friends or working. Instead, many students party and drink at these parties. The transition from high school to college causes stress among students. Therefore, instead of students looking to study more, they start partying to solve their problems. Once they start partying, it becomes harder for them to stop and they become depressed. Students drinking in college became a disposition for them, thinking that it would help them deal with their stress and problems rather than causing other problems. Parents would like to think that their children are doing what they are supposed to do while studying rather than drinking and partying. According to Lucy E. Napper who wrote “What Do Other Parents Say?” Perceived parental communication norms and the relationship between alcohol-specific parental communication and student drinking,” states that parents perceive their children to be studying and making new friends. Parents assume that their children are studying hard for upcoming classes (Napper 6, 7). According to Paul J. Gruenewald who wrote "A Dose-Response Perspective on College Drinking and Related Problems", states that students should make new friends during their first year in college and meeting these friends in class rather than at parties (Gruenewald 257).
