Drugs at Albion?

Regardless of how strict or loose the college policy is, drugs can always be found on a college campus. What makes it a problem is how it is regulated. I feel Albion's students understand that regulation in drugs and alcohol are important. They don't pressure it onto others and they don't seem to overuse it where it negatively affects the college experience of the people around them.

The frats are full of alcohol, especially when people are rushing. Drug-use, marijuana or heavier drugs, I think typically occurs off-campus if it happens. Peer pressure can get bad because the party scene is pretty big, even if the parties aren't that great. Policy enforcement is average.

There are drugs, probably about the same amount of marijuana as in my high school, which is a decent amount. A lot of people will smoke it in a group at a party, but not as many people possess it on campus. There are also harder drugs—like coke, for instance—but it’s kept more hush-hush than marijuana. And, I know a lot of people like to abuse Adderall and painkillers.
