Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus is fairly strict, but only on certain activities. Alcohol and marijuana use are the things for which students get the most citations. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t drink or smoke. You won’t get a citation unless you’re doing something stupid or dangerous. Security is not out merely to bust students, they are honestly concerned for student safety. Also, you need to keep in mind what time of the year it is. Obviously, doing these things during exam time is extremely risky because of the 24-hour quiet hours policy, so you and your friends would have to be extremely quiet—it would be more wise just to wait until after exams or to go out.

If you close your door and keep things relatively quiet, you and your friends can enjoy a drink at just about any time. But just because the campus respects that most Denison students are responsible enough to handle their own liquor consumption doesn’t mean that you should test their limits. They don’t care if you and your friends have a few, but if your dorm turns into a club, or if you go wandering about campus wildly drunk, late at night, you will risk getting caught. If you are responsible and use a little discretion, you won’t be noticed, and you and your friends will be able to have a good time any time you want to.

Campus Strictness Is Pretty Chill

The strictness of Denison's campus is pretty chill. You won't have any trouble underage drinking unless you're being stupid about it. That could include walking outside with an open container, being seen carrying alcohol into a freshman building, being extremely loud, throwing a big party in one of the freshman buildings, violating quiet hours, caught smoking weed or doing other drugs, etc. Other than that, it is very easy and fun to party.

The campus security can be pretty annoying since it sometimes seems like they're looking to catch freshman in the act, all you need to do is head over to upper-classmen parties.

Most RA's are pretty chill too, there are a few who are looking for alcohol in dorms though.

Pretty Lax

Security is always there for us when we need them. Otherwise, this students are generally pretty well-behaved so there isn't too much disciplinary intervention.

Not All That Strict.

I guess if you have gotten written up before, your point of view is different, but as someone who has never had that happen to them, I would say Denison's security isn't all that strict. In reality, they let us get away with a lot. Most weekend nights you'll see a security guard just walking around on the quad as drunk underaged student stumble past. They don't really do much until a party gets out of hand or once it becomes too late.
