Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Like on most campuses, alcohol consumption is everywhere at Lawrence. However, with the steady presence of Bacchus, a student organization dedicated to promoting safe drinking, there is also a large group of students that chooses not to drink. Bacchus provides nonalcoholic alternatives on weekends, so there is no pressure to drink in order to have fun. including alcohol in organization hazing or initiations is highly forbidden. Drinking is kept to responsible levels, and problems that arise from people drinking excessively are almost unheard of. In terms of other drugs, it is possible for a student to go to Lawrence for all four years and not see a single illegal drug. The drug scene is not very large to begin with, and generally those that aren’t a part of it aren’t aware of it. Marijuana is widespread and available, but it’s not a threatening force to non-smokers. Harder drugs are on campus, but most students remain completely oblivious to them.

Drugs

The most common drugs on campus are alcohol and marijuana. There are 40 bars in a mile stretch just of campus as well as a campus bar, so alcohol cheap and easy to obtain. Marijuana is also smoked frequently. The pressure to drink and smoke is very low, though.

For a Small School There Is a Lot but It's Low Key.

Lots of drugs are available but you could go your entire four years without seeing them. They are there.

Low Key

Drinking and drugs are pretty low key. If you don't go looking for them, it's no problem to avoid them.
