College Prowler Take
According to most students, Duquesne is relatively strict, and this strictness is evident in the actions of RAs and the police. If one plans on drinking or using drugs in the dorms, he must be aware of the potential consequences involved with his actions. RAs will write up students who are using alcohol and are underage, but generally will not turn them into the police. If caught using harder drugs, RAs will seek the help of the appropriate authorities. The heavy police presence on Duquesne’s campus can portray this university as a high-security facility of sorts. While there are a few drug busts and arrests related to alcohol use, the police can also be good-natured and helpful. Many simply get a kick out of students who are obviously drunk but not causing immediate harm to others or themselves. Blatant drug use and selling, however, is not tolerated on this campus in any way, shape, or form.

The police are usually fair, but they do have a job to do. If someone is so drunk they can’t walk, the police may take them in. If someone is suffering from alcohol poisoning, they’ll act. If they see drug use or selling, they prosecute. It’s very typical and welcomed by most students—and parents—who choose not to break the law. |

The campus does seem pretty strict, with all the red-tape involved with signing visitors in and out. I wish the residents could have less trouble keeping visitors overnight. I suppose it stems from the fact that this is a Catholic university, and they generally like to keep up their morals. |

If you get caught drinking, you usually just have to pay a fine and then go to DU Cares. |

Drugs do exist, and some dealers have made a success selling them at school. But, if you get caught, the punishment is harsh. If you get caught drinking three times underage, they kick you out. The firsttwo times, you do volunteer work and go to ‘meetings’ about drinking. |
