Furman University
- Drug Safety

Study Drugs Abound.

Adderol, Ritalin, and other "study drugs" are EVERYWHERE - I'd say 60-75% of Furman students use them fairly regularly, just to get through the courseload. Drinking is around, and there are lots of frat parties. Expect the campus to have quite a few beer cans after a Friday or Saturday night. Other drugs are there, but very underground - I've seen mostly hallucinogens used by responsible people looking for a "mind-expanding" experience. No "street drugs" like cocaine, heroin, etc ... at all. Marijuana is available, but you have to "know the right people." Fu-Po (Furman Police) seem uninformed about pretty much all substances except alcohol, if you are caught with drugs do expect to hear a lot of "War on Drugs" propaganda.

Lots of Booze

Alcohol is allowed for students 21+ that live in North Village, disallowed everywhere else, though it is not hard to find some. Other drugs are available, though I don't have much experience with them.

It's Alright

Even though our campus is supposed to be dry, I have seen empty beer cans and bottles around campus. I haven't seen drugs on campus though. There isn't much peer pressure on campus to use drugs either.
