Cornell University - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Most students say that drugs at Cornell are not a problem and that what little problems exist stay underground. Everyone will most likely meet your stereotypical pot head, and that’s probably the most common drug-related issue you’ll find here. Some students also use amphetamines and prescription drugs like Ritalin to stay up for late-night cramming sessions. Although drugs are by no means prominent on campus, some say that if you want them, they’re easy to find. Fortunately, there isn’t a lot of pressure to get involved in drug use, and Cornell has much less of a problem than many other schools. Students tend to agree that they have never witnessed an obvious drug culture at school.

Just like any other college... Just like any other college campus, drugs are present. If you look hard enough, you can find pretty much anything. However, alcohol is Cornell’s predominant substance of choice for students. 12345 Drug Scene Report

I have never done any drugs, so I... I have never done any drugs, so I don’t know too much about it. I try to stay away from that, but I am fairly certain that there are plenty of drugs being passed around. You can pretty much get whatever you want whenever you want, it if you need it. 12345 Drug Scene Report

Besides that, I think it’s fairly rare for people here to go into other harder drugs. 12345 Drug Scene Report
