You Can Have It If You Want It & Are Willing to Seek, If You Don't Want It, You Can Avoid It

If you want to drink, you can find it. If you don't want to drink, you can avoid it. In my dorm, about half of the people drank and half didn't. One of my friend's dorms reeked of pot on finals week after people had finished finals, so it kind of depends. Pot doesn't seem that common on campus to me, though. Drinking is definitely people's drug of choice, if they choose to do any of it at all. If you want to drink, you will probably have to go to the frat parties. If you want to drink really often, you should join a sorority or frat because some of the parties are closed to non-Greek members, which can be annoying. The frat parties have alcohol, but if you want it, get there right when it starts or within half an hour to an hour or it'll all be gone. I've even been to parties where we ran out. And not everyone at parties drinks. Some just dance. I'd say if you want a party school, go somewhere else. But if you want to occasionally party or just want to go and dance, come here. As for peer pressure, I never felt any. If anything, I felt pressure not to drink...not that I listened.

Drugs and Alocohol Are Around but Safety of the Students Is Priority

Drug and alcohol use is not highly visible unless you yourself put yourself into those types of situations and places. Most people are accepting of an individuals decisions and peer pressure is not an issue for those who choose not to partake. Policy enforcment and the relationship is great between ResLife, Campus Safety and the students on campus. Linfield likes to focus on creating a safe environment and one the students feel they can reach out in time of need if one of their friends is in need of help due to drug or alcohol related issues. The most popular use is with pot and drinking.

Mostly the only prominent drug is weed, but it's not too in your face.
