College Prowler Take
Students agree that campus security is willing to look the other way concerning first-time alcohol and marijuana offenses. Within the dorms, the RAs have the power to enforce drug and underage drinking policies, but most do not. If you get caught, expulsion is a possibility although probation is more likely. Since most alcohol and drug use is limited to the rooms or apartments, it is less likely that students will get caught. There is a big difference between four people drinking in a dorm room and a wild kegger, and the latter tends to be hard to achieve in Columbia’s tiny dorm rooms and apartments. If you are not obviously intoxicated, then you can get away with just about anything. If you live in a dorm and are too drunk to hand the security guard your ID yourself (i.e. your friend does), the guard is required to call CAVA (the student-run emergency care group). It’s always health over legality at CU, and an underage drunk student who is taken to the hospital will rarely face disciplinary actions. Use discretion. While security is rather lenient, the safety of students is a priority. Students Speak Out

No one cares too much about drinking or anything. You can generally smoke pot in peace. If you want to do ecstasy, then you’ll probably be at a club, and no one will know. If you want to do coke, like many rich kids, then you are an idiot! |

I haven’t had a problem. Many smoke pot on campus right in the open. |

I’d say the campus police are pretty lax about drugs and drinking and stuff. When dorm parties get busted, no one ever really gets in trouble. The worst thing that will happen is that the people who live in the suite throwing the party might get probation, so they can’t throw another party for the rest of the semester . . . but even that’s rare. A lot of it depends on your RA. Some RAs are stricter than others about drinking and drugs. However, I think it’s mainly the freshman RAs that are strict. |

I don’t think that the police handle much of the things related to drugs and drinking. Your RAs look after you, but I’m not into that stuff. If those things bother you, you can report it to your RA or someone higher and try to get the problem resolved. |
