Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

This is college, so naturally there is going to be a certain population that chooses to use illegal drugs. However, this sort of thing isn’t at all prevalent at Elon. Room checks are regularly conducted by RAs, so if anyone has drug paraphernalia they are immediately written up; there are different levels of punishments for different infractions, but the university won’t go easy on those who break the law. On the whole you can be confident that Elon students are level-headed, sober, drug-free students. As far as drinking is concerned—yes, it occurs, but everyone’s pretty responsible. Students make it a point to have designated drivers, and if not there’s Safe Rides.

Students say they never feel pressure to drink or do drugs at Elon. In fact, many on campus choose not to drink at all. As mentioned earlier, students tend to be level-headed, so if you’re looking for a school where you can find people to hang out with and not feel pressured into drugs, Elon is definitely it.

Drug Safety at Elon University

Drug Safety

Campus police are absolute sticklers here. Because the school is so small, as is the area in which it is located, it is easy to crack down, and therefore most parties are busted practically before they begin. This is, of course, for the safety of students, but the ways in which the Elon & campus police enforce their policies seems overly strict at times. The drinking scene at Elon is quite big, as a lot of students are involved in frats. However, it is controlled very well. Drugs are present on every college campus, but it is not outwardly everywhere.

Drinking Is a Way of Life at Elon

Alcohol is HUGE on campus here at Elon and dominates the drug scene. Frats and other parties make alcohol easily accessible to underaged minors, who (trust me) take advantage of the opportunity. Not choosing to drink, I have had a hard time enjoying Elon's social scene, which I believe is quite unfortunate.

Other than alcohol, marijuana is the most common drug used.
