Loyola University Chicago - Drug Scene

The only drug I've ever...

The only drug I've ever encountered was marijuana. I haven't encountered it a great deal, but it's there if you want it. Adderall is another drug that is prevalent on campus (hazard of stressed out students), but other than that I haven't seen much else around on campus.

Aside from alcohol, drugs aren't...

Aside from alcohol, drugs aren't too prevalent. You will find the occasional pothead, but nothing else really.

I think there are a lot of people...

I think there are a lot of people at Loyola who do drugs. It is obvious that a lot of people smoke cigarettes, because they can be found outside any building around campus. There is even a round cement structure in front of CFSU that the students call "The Ashtray" because in the warm weather students sit on it and smoke. Besides cigarettes, I think a lot of pot is also used around campus. I smell it coming from rooms on my floor, and the elevators in Mertz almost always smell like it.

Yes, there are drugs at Loyola....

Yes, there are drugs at Loyola. But I couldn’t call it a ‘drug scene,’ per se. There are drugs at every college. There are probably drugs on every city block. Let’s put it this way: it’s just as easy to score some drugs at Loyola as it is to avoid them altogether. And if you do score them, try not to do a bunch of them first semester, freshman year, in your dorm, and then go freaking out á la some famed single-semester alumni we know.

You can get pretty much anything...

You can get pretty much anything you would want on campus if you know where to look and who to ask. However, students’ drug use is not prevalent, nor is it obvious to notice which kids use. Sometimes stoners, in actuality, are just lazy kids.
