College Prowler Take

Duquesne students stress the invisibility of the drug scene
on campus. As with most other universities, there is some drug use. If one is into that sort of thing, they should have few problems finding what they want. Alcohol is the most widely used drug on campus, with marijuana following behind in popularity. There is some tolerance among RAs and the police regarding alcohol use, but they do not stand for illicit drug use.

The most important issue regarding drug use is the lack of peer pressure. Drugs and alcohol are available and used by students, but those who choose to focus on other hobbies will not be forced into a harmful situation. Students generally turn a blind eye towards drug use, which is not hard, considering it is not readily visible among the student body. RAs and the police keep their eyes open for any illegal activities, and they will act if the situation requires it.

Most people I know smoke pot, and I know a few who drop acid, but no one really pushes it on anybody. If you smoke pot, then you'll find plenty of people like you, and if you don't, no one forces you to.

If drugs are your thing, you’ll be able to find what you need. If drugs aren’t your thing (a more mature choice), then you won’t be bothered. There isn’t any peer pressure I know of. College is very professional in nature, and most look upon druggies with disdain. If you’re real into the drug scene, don’t waste you money here.

A good number of students have been busted for drug possession within the last year or two. Drugs seem to be more prevalent among younger students.

I hardly hear anything about drugs on campus. I assume they’re easy to find if you know the right people, but it doesn’t seem to be that big a deal. The only problem arising out of this is that when drug busts happen, the whole campus buzzes about them.
