Clark University
- Drug Safety

Drug Usage Is Pretty Common but There Is No Peer Pressure.

I think around 70% of the students here smoke marijuana and the majority of them drink as well but if you are opposed to doing so, there is no pressure or negative stigma.

Moderate Drug and Alcohol Scene

Substance abuse is something that can be found at any school by someone who is seeking it out, in my opinion. Most of the partying happens in off-campus apartments, and it's more drinking than hard drugs from what I understand. During freshman orientation one of the Deans made a point to educate everyone on reasonable limits for men and women when drinking in hopes that we could better avoid any serious health implications. There are definitely students that have access to alcohol or drugs regularly, but it's not a dominant scene at Clark; if you want to nobody judges you, but if you don't you're not surrounded by it.

Visible, but Not an Issue

There definitely are people who use different types of substances. The University Police let it go, so long as no one is being harmed or disrespectful. Smoking in the dorms is not allowed, although people still do it and RAs occasionally write people up for it.

There is very little peer pressure to use drugs. If you are interested that's cool and if not that is fine as well.
