Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Drugs are virtually nonexistent at Howard, but realistically speaking, there are definitely a few individuals who take it upon themselves to use and sell drugs. Most students don’t use drugs, however, and a new student would have to work kind of hard to find a regular hookup. Students don’t really talk about the presence of drugs on campus or lack thereof, so you would be hard-pressed to find someone that would initiate a drug-related conversation with you, and since there is no social pressure at Howard to do anything to fit in other than just to be yourself, you’re not going to find any drugs unless you’re looking for them, and even that’s going to be a challenge. The dorms are basically the same way, RAs are consistently prowling the hallways in search of general dorm violations, and even when they’re not, there will always be someone on your floor who would only be too happy to report you to the authorities.

Given the neighborhood’s past history of drug dealers and users, the city police are always patrolling the local areas, and they are real jerks, too. So, even though there’s always a chance of running into a dealer when the police are not around, it’s highly unlikely. And, all in all, such events rarely occur by accident.

Drinking

People will always have drugs and alchohol. However, it is your choice on weather you want to partake in these activities. Do not do anything you do not want to do. Alchohol is more popular than anything. Weed is also popular. I've heard of a few people trying X, but not very often. Also do no let pepole pour your drink unless you are watching them. Tell them when to stop, it's your drink not theirs. You will have to deal with the affects of it, not them.

Watch the Crowd You Hang With

Drugs at Howard University is not that big of a deal. Very rarely do you see students participating in doing drugs, unless its someone smoking. Drinking on campus is more popular. Howard has thirsty Thursdays where a large selection of students throw down their books and put up a cup to drink.

It's Everywhere

Drugs is a pretty big deal at the school. A lot of people drink but people smoke more than they actually drink. Drinking is just more visible.
