Cal Poly Pomona - Campus Strictness

College Prowler Take

First of all, as a warning: do not abuse the ducks on campus in any way—even the geese that like to peck at car tires and chase you down the sidewalks. This is one thing that the campus is very strict on, and you will be fined for it! However, the rest of campus is far from being strict. You can get away with doing a lot. If you are in the dorms, the RA’s don’t seem to care too much about what you do; just don’t get out of control. People drink all the time in the dorms and hardly ever get caught, and if they do, nothing is said. Smoking weed, on the other hand, is a different story. If that’s your thing, make sure not to do it inside the dorms. The Residential Suites are a bit more private, so you can probably get away with doing more in there. People drink all the time there, and sometimes they smoke in the bathrooms. As long as you keep to yourself and don’t disturb others, you will probably have nothing to worry about. As far as the rest of the campus goes, the University Police and Parking Services are hardcore about one thing: parking. You will get a load of tickets if you don’t abide by the parking rules. It’s out of control! It’s pure luck if you get away with a parking violation. To sum it up: you can drink and fornicate in your on-campus living facility—just don’t park without a permit or torture the ducks.

Judging from the police blotters... Judging from the police blotters listed in the Poly Post, it doesn’t seem like the campus police do much of anything. I don’t see them much, except for when they are writing traffic tickets, or writing me a traffic ticket. 12345 Campus Strictness Report
