Kenyon College
- Campus Strictness

Required Drug and Alcohol Counseling

If you get caught with alcohol underage on campus, you'll have to talk to the drug and alcohol counselor, who is awesome. If you don't have a problem, or even if you do, you're in good hands. Drugs are slightly different and more complicated. I'm not fully aware of the punishment, but I've only heard about off-campus involvement for someone running a more intense drug-dealing business, and that was before my time. Moral is, be responsible and respectful, and you'll be treated the same. The president, S. Georgia Nugent, has signed onto the Jewell Initiative, which calls on the government to reconsider the drinking age and look into its effects.

You Are Treated Like the Adult That You Are

Kenyon's strictness level is fantastic. Our campus is incredibly safe, and we just recently switched over to the proximity card system to get into dorms. There is no curfew, you can be almost anywhere on campus at any time, and you are allowed to have non-student guests for up to three days. As long as students do not violate the safety restrictions, there are rarely problems.

Depends

The Sheriff in town is known to be strict about underage drinking, but only when that drinking is done on the streets or you end up in the hospital for it. I've known kids who wake up in the hospital with a ticket from the sheriff left on their side table. I've known lots of kids who have gotten a 'talking to' about getting caught with alcohol in their rooms, but no one usually gets in too much trouble for that since it is a wet campus.
