College to Reality

"What are some behaviors that take place in college that may be considered a disorder or 'abnormal' behavior after college?" I remember the abnormal psych discussion oh so well. We talked about binge drinking and hook up culture.
Recently, after talking to some professionals where we discussed how these behaviors may seem commonplace in college, but are frowned upon (or just not the norm) in the "real world," it got me to thinking more about moral behaviors such as these and our generation. Going to a college that is 61% female, it is generally viewed that we are a "hook up" college. Men think they can get away with murder and still meet a girl at a party to take home that night because they are in high demand. Talking to some alum about this topic, the girls joke about how entering the job field and "real world" they were shocked to see how many men there were out there and how people went on dates. What is it like going from college culture to reality?
