Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Everyone agrees that you can minimize your chances of getting caught by not drinking or doing drugs in dorm common areas or outside. It’s also a good idea to keep all parties in the dorms quiet and keep doors shut. RAs have the power to give warnings for drugs or alcohol. Although the school claims to have a no-tolerance policy, students generally get three warnings before being thrown out. (Be aware, however, that since drinking in the dorms is forbidden, anyone caught in a room where people are drinking will receive an alcohol warning. If you are worried that someone may be in danger due to substance abuse, however, do not be afraid to call HERO or your RA. They care more about people’s well-being than about issuing warnings.) "Hop cops" want to help students stay safe. Although they can arrest students who are violent or rowdy, they don’t usually do so. As one student pointed out, campus has an ethics committee that enforces infractions for plagiarism, and it is very strict. For substance infractions, if you don’t flaunt that you are breaking the rules, you are unlikely to get in trouble.

Campus strictness is not really an issue. People do get caught, but there are very seldom serious consequences to infractions. When there are consequences, they may range from having your parents called to being expelled from housing or from the University. In most circumstances, the consequences are not great enough to deter students from breaking rules. They just need to remember to use caution. However, campus strictness becomes a severe issue when it comes to cheating, as it is typically enforced with seriousness and severe consequences.

Work Hard Play Hard

You definitely have to find your own fun at Hopkins. It's not the type of place that insists you drink or partake in drugs. One thing that is appreciated is the fact that Hopkins treats young students' foray into drinking with the appropriate amount of severity. No one's future is ruined because they went to a frat party while underage. Still, Hopkins isn't stupid and deals with severe infractions appropriately.

Pretty Lax

JHU doesn't really punish you unless you're caught drinking or doing drugs in a school building, and even then, you usually only get a warning. As for frats, if the police come and end the party, don't worry. They have other things to do. Just leave the party and don't do anything dumb like finishing your drink before leaving right in from of them or trying to bring your drinks outside.

Relaxed but not exaggeratedly so

HopCops don't usually break up parties and the school knows that, with the large workload, students need ways to relax and relieve stress on weekends. Drinking in the dorms is common and does not tend to go noticed either. Take care not to leave alcohol paraphernalia laying around your room though as it can get confiscated.
