Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Drug Safety

Party!

There are some drugs here and there, but it mostly depends on who you associate yourself with. Most of the students here party almost 24/7 but academics are always the first priority.

Visibility Depends...

If you want certain substances, they are not that difficult to find. But people are good at keeping stuff hidden for the most part. Some fraternities and dorms are well known for their use, but there are some people who have never encountered substances before on campus.

Drug Use Varies Wildly

The honest answer is that it varies across campus, which makes sense when you remember that different dorms at MIT have very different cultures. There are dorms known for more drugs, of mild and less-mild types, and dorms known for being squeaky clean, a number where drug use beyond alcohol and weed does happen but not with any visibility. But I don't think there is pressure anywhere on campus to try anything you're not interested in. Also, it is still MIT - 99% of the time everyone is working, not partying..

(I'm not sure what "grade" to give the drug scene - it depends on your point of view, so I'll give it an A because whatever your style is, you can find a home here.)
