Fordham University - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

The two campuses offer different types of “drug scenes;” Rose Hill houses numerous beer parties amid its buzzing social community, while Lincoln Center’s festivities remain off campus, usually at bars and clubs. Neither school has a significant drug problem, although students at both campuses admit that “if you seek, you shall find.”

Alcohol is the University’s biggest illegal substance. It is permitted in rooms where all the occupants are over-21, but parties (both on and off campus) can get out of hand. Students who don’t drink or use drugs will find a good-sized community of the same, while those who like to indulge should keep their drinking reserved for bar or club nights. Partying on campus, especially in the heavily-monitored McMahon Hall, will only get you into trouble if not done safely and respectfully. Save your wild side for the bars and clubs; as you can tell from the Nightlife section, New York and the Bronx have plenty to spare.
