Juniata College - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Drugs at Juniata just aren’t a problem, to the point that the school’s newspaper attempted to investigate drug use on campus and came up with next to nothing. There’s just not much of a drug scene to report on. Yes, a lot of students drink alcohol. A few smoke pot. A few more smoke cigarettes and almost everyone is caffeinated, but just with coffee, and mostly just because they’ve been working too hard to see straight or sleep right. If you’re looking for drugs, yes, you can find them, but you’d have to look pretty hard to find anything harder than marijuana. And if you’re caught with pot, it won’t be pretty. Drugs are one thing the college is pretty strict about.

On the other hand, alcohol consumption is common, as students tend to work hard and play hard, although, as mentioned in the “Nightlife” section, many aren’t really playing as hard as they think they are. You’ll find alcohol at most parties, if not all of them. But when it comes to drugs, they’re not nearly as common as at most other colleges or even high schools, and there’s no pressure to smoke or drink anything at all. As a student said above, if you’re not looking for it, you’ll never have to see it. That pretty much sums it up. Drugs aren’t a problem. No sugarcoating necessary.

I don’t know much about it, but I... I don’t know much about it, but I imagine that the more common, less harmful drugs such as pot are used by a few people. To my knowledge, the use of heavy and dangerous drugs isn’t really common. 12345 Drug Scene Report

I’m sure there is one, I just... I’m sure there is one, I just don’t know where it is. A few kids I know smoke pot, but there are no dirty needles around. 12345 Drug Scene Report

I’m not part of that scene so I... I’m not part of that scene so I don’t know anything about drug dealing or using on campus. I imagine it’s probably a little less than the average college. 12345 Drug Scene Report
