"Although this is disturbing, I'm not sure it's much different from when I was in collegeor even before!"
Haven't the students been always known for libidinous and Bacchic propensities for as long as there were universities? Remember Chaucer's students, and vagantes tradition before them?
Thus one ought to pause before giving it a "disturbing" characterization - that's how it has always been, and the world is still standing.

Yep, thats pretty much true.
The only difference today is that the proportion of kids going to college is much higher, and the fact that better than half of them are girls.
In the old days it was mainly wealthy young men who did a bit of wallowing in depravity.
The consequences of this sort of thing for so many people are uncertain.
