Well, I was in University from 1984 to 1989.
I have memories of exactly what you're describing, however, I would say that it was the exception and not the rule. So perhaps things have changed a bit. I dunno.
But now that I am older, I agree completely with what my parents said that "until you're 25 - your brain has still not completely matured" (I believe this to be a scientific fact.) In short, late teen / early 20 somethings are still children in adult bodies in many ways.
Letting lose once in a while is fine. If it becomes part of your personae, it is a problem.
The one statistic I find truly interesting is how Universities in Canada are now fully 2 thirds female. (Those are great odds if you're a guy. Back in my day, it was about 50 50.) That's probably a whole new thread though - the demise of the Western Male.
