Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Just like most college campuses in the country, there’s drug use at Bucknell, but it’s certainly not very visible on campus or at parties. Marijuana is fairly typical, but students will usually smoke it in privacy. Often, after a night out, students will go back to their room or house and smoke, but it doesn’t seem that there are many Bucknellians who are “potheads” and smoke daily. Occasionally, you might catch the scent of pot wafting down your hall, but other than that, you could go all four years at Bucknell without witnessing drug use.

There are some groups that are notorious for cocaine usage. But again, you won’t likely encounter this unless you want to. Students do not really talk about it too much, and there is not any peer pressure unless you choose to be a part of that group. Sometimes you might hear a student say they took Adderall or other caffeine pills before a test in order to stay up and study. Overall, though, if the typical Bucknellian wants to be under the influence, they’re going to choose alcohol.

Drinking Is Most Popular

Drinking is definitely huge here, but not in a bad way. There is marijuana and on the weekends you definitely can smell it around campus. It is also very accessible. Coke is on campus but only for people who go looking for it. The policies are what you'd expect. With drugs theyre strict and you will get a heavy fine and be forced to go to drug abuse classes and also get quite a few points. As long as you're not stupid about drinking, no one is going to care.

Alcohol > Weed > Coke > Everything Else

Alcohol is definitely everywhere. Lot's of kids smoke, but its usually hidden and within groups of friends. Coke is available for those who want it, but its never forced.
