Bowdoin College
- Drug Safety

Drinking Is King

Our campus is drenched in alcohol, but not so hot on the drugs. People here seem to be more about weed than anything else I guess, and people who smoke weed don't seem to comprise a large amount of the student body (but I could just be talking to the wrong people...)

In any case, the social scene here revolves around drinking, but the college is very open and pretty much accepting of the fact that college life for some reason demands alcohol. As such, security and administration isn't that strict about alcohol, but they do have plenty of measures that ensure student safety, which seems to be a policy that works out.

There's not really a lot of pressure to drink (other people around you may drink, but they won't force you to or exclude you for not choosing to do so), but things can get a little weird socially freshman year if you decide to declare yourself chem-free for your living situation.

Minimal Drug Scene

The drug scene at Bowdoin is small. There is just too much other stuff to do, and people tend not to distract themselves with drugs

A Little Hard Core but Easy to Stay Away

There are some hard core parties with lots of drinking but if you don't want to drink it is easy to say no.
