Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

HU has no tolerance for any form of drugs on campus, or else it is “out by 5.” This refers to a student’s dismissal by 5 p.m. if they are caught violating a major rule. If a student is found with any form of an illegal substance, it is confiscated immediately, and the student is automatically expelled from the campus of HU. The main drug on campus is alcohol. Students drink regardless of age, where, when, or who may surround them; and oftentimes can be found carrying around “disguised” drinks—vodka and cranberry juice in a Ocean Spray bottle, for instance. Students tend to use alcohol to make the parties fun, even if it's an on-campus party.

In conjunction with alcohol is marijuana. According to most students, marijuana has a highly-visible existence on campus. Many students who do smoke tend to try to hide it in fear of the severe drug penalty. However, drugs are not even ambiguous enough to not be recognizable. Despite the severe penalties for being caught, students still seem willing to not just take the risk, but to do it openly. According to students, the use of marijuana and alcohol is not confined to parties, but rather is something common that can be noticed at any time during the day. However, there is no apparent usage of “hard drugs” such as coke or ecstasy on campus.

It's Average

Hampton is pretty strict on drug use (Out By Five rule), but the off campus apartments "The Harbors" are always full of people smoking and drinking, especially on the weekends.

Zero Tolerance.. or Not

Hampton has zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol. If your caught with drugs you will have a hearing and most likely be out by 5 depending on the circumstances. Alcohol is strict for underage students but they are able to allow a second chance. If caught with alcohol or drunk you will be on early curfew until you have a hearing and explain your actions. You will then be sentenced to some time for community service so you are punished and the next time its out for good! So the idea is good they just aren't as strict as they advertise to parents and in every meeting saying any possesion is out by 5 no questions asked. Don't worry the first time is passable and then your on your own
