Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The consensus among students is that you can find drugs on campus if you want them, but they are not overwhelmingly present. Alcohol is the top drug used on campus, followed by pot. Students also use caffeine pills and other drugs that help them stay awake. In this case, students use these drugs not to escape the world, but because they need to study. The best aspect of the drug scene at Hopkins, however, is that there is no pressure to use drugs. Students are understanding about letting other students make their own choices.

Drug use at Hopkins is a matter of choice. It is very uncommon to hear about anyone allowing their drug or alcohol use to interfere with their studies. When people choose to use drugs, it is usually on the weekends as a chance to relax. Even where drugs are used, they are not a visible presence on campus because there isn’t pressure from others to use.

Alcohol Is Under Control

The drug scene at Hopkins is present to an extent, but kept under control. I imagine alcohol is a factor at nearly every college, however at Hopkins the focus remains on academics and drinking is not a troublesome activity with regard to academics, for most students.

Mostly Off Campus

Drugs are not a big problem on campus. Most of the drugs and alcohol are consumed off campus in bars or fraternity houses. Resident advisers in the dorms do a good job of encouraging students to take their business elsewhere.

Drugs and Drinking

Drinking is popular here, not not everyone does it and there are certainly alternative ways to have fun and socialize. The biggest drug use besides drinking, though, is study drugs. Adderal, Ritalin, and other things. Sometimes it puts pressure on students to start taking them because they know of so many others that use them
