Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

There is a surprising amount of marijuana smoked on campus. Many people openly discuss smoking pot in classes, and some teachers even occasionally mention it. There is also a relatively high amount of prescription drug use. Adderall and Ritalin are very commonly abused study drugs that are often used around midterms and finals. There is moderate hallucinogen use and a bit more noticeable cocaine use.

There is a “scene” of drugs on campus, no doubt, but not one that evokes much pressure on students. If anything, there is a lot of pressure on students to drink to have fun. Alcohol is by far and away the poison of choice for Emory students, with marijuana and pills coming in tied for second. The amount of money students have here definitely facilitates the drug scene, and especially contributes to the amount of students doing cocaine. Of course, some students choose not to do drugs at all, but they are not bothered or harassed for abstaining. All in all, you can find anything you want at Emory, but not much of anything will ever be offered to you.

Depends on Who Your Friends Are

As with many things in life, the drug scene is dependent upon who you decide to hang out with. Drugs aren't a huge problem at Emory, although alcoholism is a bit prevalent. The majority of our students don't abuse drugs or alcohol, and there are plenty of programs provided by the university to prevent abuse and to help anyone who has problems.

Mostly Drinking and Marijuana

I don't see a lot of really dangerous drug use on campus. Mostly just drinking and Marijuana. But, hey, this is college right? I think you find those same drugs on every college campus. A student can certainly go their entire college career at Emory without being pressured to take drugs though.

Better Than Most Schools

You can easily get drugs and alcohol if you want them but if you don't want to be exposed to it it is easy to avoid.
