Too much free time

What I don't understand is how Penn State students can party and drink so much and still remain in school.

Maybe if classes were more difficult and good grades harder to come by, they'd have to spend more time studying and less, drinking. Maybe the university doesn't want to consider this because it would entail a greater emphasis on teaching and more resources devoted to that end.
