Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Overall, MSU police concern themselves more with keeping the campus safe than they do with picking up intoxicated minors—despite what some students insist. Generally, those who aren’t making a scene or doing anything openly illegal have little to worry about from campus police. It’s not unusual to hear of someone getting an MIP, but there are more people who drink than people who get punished for it. The students who have the biggest problems are the ones who continually break the law, though this is a small minority at MSU.

Many students were angered when a “party noise ordinance” was instituted, and a few students were fined several hundred dollars for playing music too loudly or for having a few too many friends over. The initial anger at the ordinance has since died down, and campus enforcement officials have been giving students more breaks as far as noise is concerned. It’s a tough job to protect an area the size of MSU’s campus, and the majority of students have the utmost respect for the MSU campus enforcement. As long as you take reasonable precautions against police run-ins, you should have little to worry about.

We can do pretty much anything we want. The "strictest" thing I've encountered is scanning my ID to get into my dorm past midnight.

Never Have Any Problems

Most Residential Mentors aren't very strict. They understand because they're college students too. As long as you aren't blaring music at two in the morning, you won't be bothered. The police on campus aren't bad either. They are present but once again, as long as you aren't doing anything stupid out in public, you should be fine. The police know that there are parties on the weekend and that people have been drinking but as long as those parties aren't out of control and you aren't partying in the middle of the street they won't bother you.

Punished When Required

The punishments that are giving usually are required, underage drinking is very serious. First time offenders usually get talked to and it is noted of an offense but nothing happens, second time offenders are put on probation and this requires them to work two shifts of a certain job, third time offenders can or are expelled from school. Same set up for drugs, other incidents are determined based on severity.
