Happy St. Patrick's Day, do try to remain sober. Avoid green beer.
We're a residential campus, not primarily a commuter school. Our university administration got tired of students drinking themselves insensate and trashing the town on St. Paddy's Day.
Wisely, they permanently moved spring break to the week that includes 17 March. Now when the students get drunk they do it at home or at some resort, not on campus. In other words, their St. Patrick's Day behavior is no longer the university's problem.
