Georgia Institute of Technology - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Georgia Tech’s academic rigor is most likely a deterrent for widespread drug use. The drug scene is not overly visible on campus, so many parents and students might be completely unaware of its existence. Some students even go so far as to say they’ve never witnessed or heard of any drug problems on campus at all.

However, don’t assume that the drug scene’s lack of prominence means that it’s not there at all; drugs are available on campus and are used heavily in some communities of students. Though there might not be any obvious pressure to use drugs, the scene still does thrive in certain circles. Most students, however, do shy away from using drugs; doing so certainly doesn’t enhance your chances for involvement in campus activities and will most likely compound any academic problems or obstacles that you might face in an already rigorous program.
