Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With two coffeeshops on campus, it’s a given that students are drinking caffeine, and it’s assumed that students will be drinking alcohol at frat parties or kickbacks. You will also see students smoking cigarettes on campus, despite the commitment CSUN made to its students to make a drug-free campus. CSUN students became pretty upset when the Sundial (school newspaper) wrote an article about how the commitment wasn’t being enforced. This is one indicator that the majority of CSUN students don’t mess around with drugs.

If CSUN students are using drugs other than caffeine, alcohol, or tobacco, then they pretty much keep it to themselves. The slightest hint of other drug use is the unmistakable scent of weed floating through the dorm hallways. But even if people smell it, they don’t make a big deal about it unless it is truly causing a problem. Although it’s probably not impossible to search for people using drugs if that’s what you’re into, drugs don’t have a large, outspoken following that CSUN students are aware of.

I'm No Really Part of That Scene, So I Don't See It

I'm not that aware of the drug and alcohol scene at my school. Since it's a commuter school, the campus life is not like that of other schools. Maybe at the dorms the school has, drugs and alcohol are more visible.

I have not experienced anything that pertains to the drug scene on campus. I don't believe it is that big.

Drug Scene

The drug scene at CSUN is not overwhelming. Most students can find a comfortable group of people with common interests.
