If so, it&amp;#x27;s more liberal, if also more complicated, than the university I went to where the policy for alcohol on-campus was &amp;quot;No.&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;Granted you could find dozens of parties within a mile of campus there; I don&amp;#x27;t know the geography of Stanford.</text></comment>
