It has to be different now, no parent can effectively isolate their kid from youth culture (all modern culture really) as long as the kid has internet access, and they WILL have an internet connection if they have a phone. And if kids can talk to each other and coordinate behind the closed doors of their phones, they have to be getting into some ****.
It's kind of hard to party when you aren't allowed to go into anyone else's room, they make you go to bed at 10pm, they patrol the dorm regularly, the dorm is a very small square area, and that dorm is right next to an administration office. And also because it was very hard to smuggle anything but cigarettes into the school.
