No Better than the other schools
After going through this article, I can't help but think of any other school in the world. There is always going to be the young, freshmen starting their first year away from home. There is definitely (not 'probably' or 'most likely') going to be some binge-drinking.
The point that I don't get is looking at Cardiff's paper, there is a little blurb about how Cambridge's student's are such horrible, common senseless 'drunken brats' (as put by the IBN paper). Look above that blurb and you will see a half-page full pictured article about Cardiff's Beer Festival with barrels upon barrels of beer in the photo and how successful it was.
Do you think they had this to entice the Cambridge students and then have the Cardiff's journalists sneak around the Cambridge campus to find anything about having drunk students? If I was the Cardiff's editor, I would have paid a little more attention to this.
