also lol @ honor code.
BYU is of course famous for it, but lots of schools (all religious ones of course) do it as well. I know someone that went to a small catholic college and they also had an honor code. No drinking, drugs, sex, music/movies/whatever after times, pretty mundane dress codes including hair and all that.
All enforced as well.
Attempts to prevent alcohol on campus are universal, though. My sister goes to Christendom, and they have pretty restrictive codes too, but they wouldn't kick you out for having sex. They just do everything possible to make it difficult to impossible to actually have sex. At least I am pretty sure, I will ask her. There's a curfew for going outside your dorm, but you don't have to go to sleep. They don't have much of a dress code outside of class, but I think you're not supposed to watch R rated movies, lol.

See that's pretty light in comparison! And preventing is one thing, but its usually half hearted and not like they can do anything with it anyway.
I assume (hope) its a stereotype but I kind of want to go to BYU and see if its really like that there...that everyone is always super happy all the time and say "oh shucky darns" instead of cursing.
Also love the sig Henry, obviously a big act (Sheen is only an actor...) but that video was great.

I imagine there's a certain amount of disillusioned students who are there because of their parents. Christendom has less than 400 students, so it's small enough that just about everyone is willing to embrace it. And they seem to be a lot less shiny happy people than BYU. It's so hilarious when she talks about it. You email your class preferences to one guy and he emails you back your schedule. It's just...
