Reply to comment by dew2459 in UMass warns about people drinking 'borgs' after 28 ambulances called by MarcoVinicius

I had a friend who graduated from Umass Amherst, but mid way through got so hopped up on drugs and alcohol that he assaulted several people outside at an event including a campus cop who was trying to get him under control, got arrested (obv) and kicked out of campus housing and ended up in court-ordered rehab before he got his shit back together. They still let him finish his degree and attend classes but he had to live off campus.

Meanwhile my (pretty upstanding) friend who went to the honors college there almost got expelled for doing some pseudo-white hat hacking on the dining website and bringing a vulnerability to the attention of the school's IT department. Wack.

That is a bit like one of my high school classmates... except he also had terrible grades and did some major property damage, so UMass just threw him out permanently. He was allowed to go to a state college.

That was over 25 years ago when UMass Amherst was still earning a spot on some annual "top 10 party schools in the US" lists.
