Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Many students are more or less worried than they should be when dealing with Public Safety. They are not here to prosecute students—they are here to ensure student safety. If there is a dangerous situation, Public Safety is there to sort it out and not to throw punishments around.

When someone gets caught on minor drug violations, a warning or “housing probation” is often issued. This basically means that a student cannot be caught again during the probationary period, or they will lose their housing. This second part is usually not enforced unless someone is dealing. If you mind your own business, are considerate, and are not too obvious, you should be fine.

Campus Strictness

Hampshire College is amazingly tolerant of their students. They understand that Hampshire students are individual and self motivated and for that reason almost all of the buildings are left open at night and students are encouraged to organize activities on their own. If a cop were to see someone drinking they would simply as them to pour their drink out. The same policy goes for smoking cigarettes or marijuana. Marijuana is decriminalized in the state of Massachusetts so therefore the police cannot get you in trouble for it beyond a small fine. The campus is extremely safe despite the relaxed environment. Public safety officers are always around if any student needs assistance. So are the student trained Emergency Medical Team, who will immediately respond to any students need.
