Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The authorities at Drexel are strict when they need to be. For example, students who drink when they should not be drinking are rarely punished. Security and police are more interested in breaking up a rowdy party to ensure everyone’s safety. They have more urgent things to take care of in the city. So, as long as you do not force them to take action against you by foolishly putting on a drunken public display, then you probably should be fine. Although the drug scene is not that large, there have been instances when Drexel has enforced its “zero tolerance for drugs” rule. People have gotten expelled with no questions asked for drug possession and/or use. This University is very strict about drugs.

Other than drinking and drugs, you don’t hear of people getting caught or punished for anything, but there is occasional vandalism, and maybe fighting once in a while. Other things you can get in trouble for are downloading copyrighted material, running on the roof tops of buildings, being too noisy in your dorm room, and illegal parking. But mostly, you have to be involved in doing something that is harmful to yourself or others to get in serious trouble.

Reasonably Strict

Drexel is very strict on drug use - first time offenders are usually suspended, but is more lenient on alcohol use. There is a 3-strike policy for underage drinking in the residence halls.

Just Don't Keep It in the Dorms

As long as you're not extremely obvious about what you've been doing and don't keep any contraband in your room or friends' rooms, the RA's (resident assistants) won't try to get you into trouble. You can pretty much live under your own circumstances as long as it happens outside the dorms. The punishments, however, a pretty severe - being put in front of a committee, citations the first time, and the possibility of being kicked out of housing and suspension or even expulsion depending on the substance and the number of times (3 is generally the killer).

Schaperoned Madness

The campus had a wide array of safety measures in place for students including their own police force, campus security teams, and neighboring universities police forces and campus security. However, there is more than one party to be found on the weekends and typically the police don't get involved unless there is significant disruption.
