College Prowler Take

In short, the school is strict when they catch people, but if you’re smart about when, where, and how you do things, it’s likely that you won’t ever be caught. The easiest ways to get in trouble are still drinking, smoking pot, fighting, or being some sort of public nuisance. The police are less of an investigatory team and more of a prodding response team and will sometimes patrol the campus looking to catch troublemakers.

Once caught for something, the school’s response can be varying. The strictness of your dorm directors can play a large role, with some students getting off with a warning and some students forced into community service or counseling. In extreme cases, students can be suspended. During freshman year, it is not uncommon to have a strict RA, which can be annoying and force you to be mischievous elsewhere, but lax RAs and SAs let students drink openly in their dorm rooms without fear of getting caught. Outside of the dorms is not as safe for troublemaking as it used to be, and would-be offenders are finding their lives a lot more hectic recently. In short, it’s best to play it safe. Emory can be strict with rule breaking, but at the same time, it’s very easy to get away with many things.

It’s kind of easy not to get caught. My group of friends drank and smoked in our dorms and on campus all of freshman year, and the ones who still live on campus do the same. If you do get caught, Emory does not hold back. They can be pretty ruthless and love to dole out suspensions.

The police are annoying because they are all on power trips, as are a lot of the RAs, but I guess that is their job so you can’t get too pissed. If you are smart, any trouble can be avoided.

I have never had any problems getting wasted on campus, but fraternities definitely feel the heat.

I would say that this school is pretty average for strictness. The cops and people in charge are not too strict, but not too lax either. It’s better than some other schools for certain things like bringing guests in dorms, and if need be, it is pretty easy to flee from the cops as the campus is big and not car-friendly.

The Emory community is quite strict about drugs and will punish one accordingly if caught with illegal substances.
