Drinking on college campuses has become a huge problem. For example, in the 10th century only old people used to drink, but now students drink more than their parents. Students see their parents drinking, so they may think that drinking has no effect on health that anyone can drink so why can’t the students drink?

Barrett Seaman’s article “How Bingeing Became the New College Sport,” appearing in TIME magazine on August 29, 2005, explains how binge drinking is affecting college students. It also suggests that lowering the drinking age might help solve the problem of binge drinking. This article has much information on how and where students get drunk.…

Weight gain has always been feared by members of American society, in particular, first year college students. In the past, this weight gain was seen as inevitable—something that the poor college freshman could not escape. According to recent studies, college freshman should no longer worry about gaining fifteen pounds in their first year. The term “freshman fifteen” has become a myth now that reputable institutions like Ohio State University have released their findings from studies regarding weight gain in college.

In fact, only about ten percent of college freshman will gain fifteen pounds or more in their first year. Although three pounds is still a significant amount of weight to gain in a one-year…
