Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It is no secret that marijuana is widely used at Lewis & Clark, but there is usually not too much pressure to partake in the activity if you’re simply not interested. Smokers are more likely to be picky about giving it out, so it really isn’t a big issue. That being said, though, it’s definitely prevalent on campus. Most students know how to balance their partying and studying, and if not, learn to because the academics at LC can be demanding depending on the classes, and students can’t afford to be constantly partying if they want decent grades.

Unsurprisingly, alcohol is also prevalent on campus, but it's not usually too big of a problem. A lot of drinking happens off campus or quietly in the dorms. Cigarettes are more popular than would be expected, so much so that the school decided to do something about it. After a survey was sent out to the student body in 2008, nearly 75 percent of students asked for a change in the smoking policy. As a result, there are Designated Smoking Areas or DSAs; these are tables located outside of the dorms, indicated by a green umbrella. Smoking anywhere other than these DSAs is prohibited on campus. The occasional student will rebel against these rules and can be seen walking to class enjoying his or her last cigarette for the hour, but it’s hardly ever a problem. Student smokers typically use the DSAs, and all other non-smoking students are pretty happy about it being that way.

We're No Reed College

Lewis & Clark students drink, smoke weed and on occasion indulge in psychedelic drugs. Drinking is more popular than the others. As far as I know, not many students engage in hardcore illicit drugs and mainly stick to drinking and marijuana.

Variety but Not Necessity

If you want to drink or do drugs there is a large opportunity. In general, students probably smoke and drink the same amount, there are really only big parties on weekends so if you want to weekday drink you're on your own, although a fair amount of smoking goes on monday-friday. There are also drugs going on like shrooms, cocaine, and acid. Those are the most popular.

Party Scene

The drug scene at Lewis and Clark is pretty happening. Students drink all the time, although people do have fun without it. It all depends who your hanging with. Smoking in the forests is huge up here. The school is in a beautiful environment with tons of trails leading down to parties, drugs, and drinking. Most parties take place off campus and are not too close making it hard to get to.

Did You Know? At Lewis & Clark, alcohol is allowed in the dorms as long as the student is age 21 or older. But providing alcohol to a person under 21 years of age can get the 21-and-up students into a lot of trouble.
