I really do like the idea of "liminal" college experience. I want my paper to focus on the social aspects of college and how college education plays a role in society. Also I want to focus on why college students do such bizzarre and unusual things. The standards of the college community and much different than the "real world" community. Students often change personalities and attitudes in the different contrasting environments. This includes at home, at the lecture halls and libraries and in the dorm. For example, why do people feel like college is the appropriate time to "experiment."
Here are a couple of pieces I found interesting:

In this article they consider lowering the drinking age and that Cornell University offers medical attention due to alcohol related instances without penalty.

I really liked this article because it encourages a positive friendly environment. This can be applied to colleges and Moffatt because he stresses that the deans want a friendly community.
