Another thing is that I'm in France. Where I went to college, there were no frats. We had a small association but it was like 50 people out of the thousand in CS that went to their events, and they were pretty tame. On the other hand, the equivalent of frat culture is very present in medical school.
> It's easier to dismiss it as a maturity thing but it might have a little to do with how kids are crammed into the same spaces with the same people, good and toxic while in college somehow it seems less so.
I totally agree. Maybe that's just psychological, but as I mentionned my college was "open", at any point I could just walk away. In high school, and before, there always were big wall between me and the exterior, and every exit had people making sure we didn't go outside. You really feel trapped inside with no escape. Anecdotally, the last high school I went to had a large park with lots of place to "hide", and I was often hanging out with a few friends in some "remote" places.
