Skidmore College, located in Saratoga Springs, has announced that it will institute a ban on alcohol in most dormitories beginning this fall. Dormitories that are restricted to juniors and seniors will not fall under the ban, as administrators acknowledge that most students living in them are of legal age to possess and consume alcohol.
RPI bans any student under the age of 21 from possessing alcohol on campus. It is not a dry campus, however. The administration has not ruled out the possibility of pushing toward a dry greek system, and recent fraternity suspensions relating to alcohol use have increased tensions over the issue. Union College has publicly stated that it does not intend to push toward a dry campus, choosing instead to attempt to change campus culture regarding alcohol use.
