Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The students seem to agree that while drugs are present on campus, they’re not going to be in your face. Tobacco use is relatively common, and hookahs are very popular. Most people aren’t adverse to responsible use of lighter recreational substances like alcohol and marijuana. Both are readily consumed in the dorms, campus parties, and on back campus. If you’re not interested in taking part, you won’t be pressured. Wellness Lifestyle halls are available for students who choose to abstain and wish to live in an environment with others who also choose a drug-free lifestyle. The College also makes a concerted effort to offer fun substance-free activities every Friday and Saturday night. Harder drugs are present on campus but are not visible in the same way. Unless you’re out looking, you probably won’t run across them. The area around campus is pretty straight-laced, too; don’t expect to come across too much drug use in town. Due to a somewhat lax security force, students don’t get too bent out of shape trying to hide alcohol or marijuana use. Ultimately, however, most students aren’t using during weekdays and demonstrate some sense of responsibility on weekends. If being around drug use truly bothers you, try to avoid EH and especially Barrett. Some of these kids get into the “work hard, party hard” scene, sometimes resorting to drugs like Adderall to pull some drug-assisted all-nighters.

"Moist"

Earlham aspires to be a dry campus, but everyone knows that since college is college, there is no such thing as a completely dry campus. We affectionately refer to Earlham as "moist," because there is alcohol on campus and sometimes it can seem a little overwhelming. However, there is no pressure to drink or do drugs, and you can always find something to do on campus that doesn't involve substances.

There Is Pressure...

Some people say there's no pressure here to smoke or drink, but I have been pressured. It's hard to meet new people if you don't drink. I smell pot a lot just walking around. If you're cool with drugs, then Earlham is fine for you, but if you're not, reconsider Earlham.

Available but Not Necessary to Fit in

Although Earlham is considered a Dry Campus, students like to say that it is pleasantly moist. If you are interested in drugs and alchohol it is easy to find. If you aren't interested there are others on campus who feel the same way. There really isn't a lot of peer pressure and you can easily go to a party and not feel the need or pressure to drink.
