"Emerge" Is Very Adequate

they take very good care of overly drunk kids. However, if you get "emerged" you end up at Georgetown hospital rather than GW hospital because they don't want people to think they are "emerging" you to make money. THis is a problem because if you don't have money you need to call friends to come get you or walk back to campus in heels & going out clothes.

Drinking Is Big

GW students drink a lot, it's the most probably by far compared to other things. I wouldn't say there is a lot of peer pressure, people just do it, it's the norm on campus. If you're under 21 without an ID then you're probably pre gamming pretty hard in a dorm before heading out to a club. That being said if you don't drink or want to get involved with that stuff you won't be left out, you'll be in the minority, but not alone. UPD is has a pretty strong presence in freshmen and sophomore dorms, but less so in upperclassmen housing.

Drinking Is More Popular

The drug scene is not big at all, but it all depends on who you hang out with and what you are into. There is plenty of partying here though, mostly drinking in dorm rooms, clubs, apartments, and frat housing. Also it's easy to stay out of trouble if you are drinking.
