I always thought my school (Bowdoin College) was strict with its “no hard alcohol on campus” policy – which is admittedly pretty ineffective – but when I read this list on the Huffington Post I was pretty taken aback. Unsurprisingly, many of the schools listed are miliary academies or religious schools.
Some highlights include:
- At Brigham Young University you need a doctor’s note to grow a beard.
- At Hyles-Anderson College in Indiana “Hollywood movies” are prohibited.
- Even if you are 21 at Hamilton College, you can get written up for drinking during finals week.
- Boston University has a zero tolerance policy about parties in Residence Halls.
- According to a commenter, Pensacola Christian College (which is tagged in the post but is for some reason not included in the slideshow) prohibits girls from leaving dorms with their hair wet because it might cause boys to think about them naked in the shower. Check out more of the rules at this school on its wikipedia page, which include stairwells and elevators segregated by gender.
