How chill is your college/university

I imagined this thread being better suited if experienced students of various universities you could tell us WHAT university they attend(ed) and explain the the severity of their universities' drug policies (especially the administration's de facto practices, what they "overlook" or "let slide", etc).
This could be helpful to incoming freshman (certainly not basing their choice off of this information) that want to know what they are getting themselves into and exactly what type of drug usage is prevalent around campus.

Dude I love my college so much. Every drug related thing I've gotten into has been through people I met there. The campus police are dicks but they're all morons and easy to trick.

It seems like everyone who parties at my school smokes weed. At big parties girls are almost always doing lines of coke in the bathroom. If you get caught with pot in the dorms you have to go to this stupid Alcohol and Drug education class for 8 weeks. It's a slap on the wrist basically. But if you get caught OFF campus by the city cops they'll haul your ass to jail in a heartbeat.

I endorse this statement.
I also recommend exhaling through a paper towel tube with a few dryer sheets stuffed inside. That way, if any of it blows back in, it smells like laundry!

My college is a dry campus and the opposite sex have to be out of dorm rooms by 12am on week nights and 2am on weekends. My school sucks ass. But that hasn't stopped me from having keg parties and having boyfriends stay the night. :D But fuck if I can get drugs on campus for nothing, stupid christian values bs.

Jesus, I think I've heard of more liberal and forgiving universities in the capital or Iran.

You could walk around on a friday or saturday drunk as hell and the cops probably wouldnt mess with you too bad, but everything else is frowned upon. If you get caught with a big bag of weed your ass is probably going to jail, but i've had friends get caught with just like a blunt and not get into too much trouble.

I go to a strict southern baptist university and they arrest you for marijuana in any location with harsh disciplinary probation. Alcohol can even be hard to get away with ...damn private schools!

I go to Skidmore College in NY. Its a small liberal arts school and its very relaxed. There are three levels of AOD (alcohol or drug) infractions.
Level 1 - intoxiation - nobody gets these
Level 2 - drinking or smoking in the rooms, no drug possession though
Level 3 - possession or sale of drugs (really just possession, people who get caught dealing get in obviously much more trouble).
Level 1 - Warning, then 50 dollar fine
Level 2 - 50 dollar fine, than 100 dollar fine
Level 3 - 100 dollar fine
Also, having these on your record can effect how good of housing you get the next year.
I have one level 2 offense for smoking in my room 1st semester. I had to have counseling meeting which was actually interesting and chill, and I had to pay 50 bucks. But... I smoke in my room multiple times daily. That catch was a total fluke. The RA's don't generally have a problem with anything you do in your room as long as its not loud and ubnoxious and bothering the rest of the hall.
Campus Po is totally chill and practically nonexistant, you can smoke anywhere outside almost all of the time.
I don't really drink, but there is plenty of drinking too, and I feel like kids get in trouble the most often for having parties int he dorms with drinking, cause they = loud drunk people and thats all that really matters in terms of getting in trouble.
Also, some people use psychadelics, although fewer than I thought coming into this school. Also, coke is used, but I'm talking about like 3-5% of campus being regular users and 10% having ever tried. Not too much.

It took me 2 minutes to figure out where you go. :] My UCXX is far far nerdier, but you can find pretty extensive drug use in the hippie co-operative housing. In the loud social dorms, you'll get in trouble if someone officially complains about your marijuana smoking or drinking.
We have a rep. for meth to study, but that might be a relic of the 90's. I've never seen it here. I've seen lots of prescription ADD-med abuse, though.
Interesting thread
Quite a few different sttitudes towards drugs and booze. I think in the Unis here in the UK the rules seem to be generally more relaxed. I'm in my third university now -
Uni number one - The UK's oldest and most traditional, I was surprised that at our welcome lecture by the vice chancellor there was a warning about drugs, and a zero-tolerance appraoch, but ti took me about a day to meet the main dealers (students) and within a week had access to pretty well anything I wanted. bIt was pretty stupid though as every night the college bar made huge profitsselling too much alcohol 'til people were falling over and being sick on themselves...all acceptable, but a friend's cleaner dobbed him in and he was hauled before the dean, thing is all he had were two large arabic Hukkahs in his room, my friend acted outraged and said they were 'part of his culture' etc. He put up such a good show he gota written apology from the dean for their insensitivity etc etc. On the other hand my cleaner was great, bshed find lumps of hash under my bed etc and neatly stack them on my bedside table.
Uni two - 3rd oldest in UK again had strict policy, but I had a friend, caughtby police for posession + supply....TWICE in 2 weeks, they informed his college, but he just got a warning. also once you leave halls/campus and live out in your 2nd year you can do what you want, lots of drug fuelled partying etc. bI'd worked out the system early on and registered with Uni GP that I had a history of drug abuse, which in the UK turns it into a health issue meaning the college can't do jack shit. In my first term a tutor invited our small class of 6 to his house for dinner, lovely home cooked food, then without a word, pulls out a huge octopus Hukkah, sets it on the table and invited us all to join in!! unbelievable but in UK philosophy professors are expected to be eccentric and so laid-back they're horizontal.
Uni Three, where I am now is more concerned with alcohol than drygs as last year a fresher died after a drinking binge. For those who want it there are most things, if you look hard enough. Uni newspaper just ran article on Modafinil and the rise in use amongst students, thing is the article gave so much info that it acted more like an advert, leading to loads of people who'd never heard of the stuff to get some, it didn't help that the uni doctor was quoted as saying 'I don't know much about the drug...we're not in principle against buying medicine on the internet' - That and quotes from students saying 'since I started taking modafinil my grades have improved' made it read like an advertorial (they even gave the name of the cheap generic available, 20 seconds on google and people found the source and bingo!!
Same college paper ran shock-headline, students at 'xxxxx University cocaine shocker', they used test wipes on toilet seats, shelves etc and nearly every toilet in every building had traces of coke. They asked the dean for his comments - 'Terrible,not acceptable' etc, they then pointed out that the highest concentration of cocaine-coated toilet seats were in his office block!!!!
Unless you're caught dealing class A drugs, on campus you're pretty safe. Weed is class C drug in UK, you can't even be arrested for posession.
My experience, in the UK hypocricy rules. The colleges make huge profits from on campus alcohol sales, which leaad to binge drinking, violence, ande serious health consequences, whilst officially running a zero tolerance attitude to drugs which is a joke. Again, the trick is to register when you arrive making it a health issue, then the college can't do much as it would be discriminatory.
The biggest drug scene was def at the first place...its no wonder half the politicians (who mostly pass through this uni) have had to admit to student-days drug abuse, weed and coke.
Moral of the tale, if you're a rich kid at oxford your drug use is 'frowned upon', little else, the same kids on the rough estates in the inner cities get arrested and have a micro-chip implanted n their head so they can be tracked by sattelite, given a criminal record etc. The class system remains as divisive in the UK as its ever been!!!
