Hampton University - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

HU has no tolerance for any form of drugs on campus, or else it is “out by 5.” This refers to a students 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 Mystic bottle, for instance.

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.

Hampton acts like this is a... Hampton acts like this is a drug-free school zone, but they know students, at the very least, smoke weed, if not anything else. I don’t think these students want to sniff anything or put anything in their veins, but I definitely believe they will roll up any kind of herb with anything available and smoke it. 12345 Drug Scene Report

People are definitely smoking it... People are definitely smoking it up around this University. Some people even walk around and put weed in a Black & Mild wrapper like it’s really some kind of cigarette. We can smell the difference. 12345 Drug Scene Report

Truthfully, I don’t see it too... Truthfully, I don’t see it too much around campus. I think the policy of being expelled if you are found with it is an excellent deterrent. No one wants to call his parents and tell them he’s on his way home because he’s been expelled for doing some type of drug. 12345 Drug Scene Report
