Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The campus police normally avoid causing problems for students, as long as they are not hurting anyone or being an obvious disturbance. However, anyone can look at the police reports each time the newspaper comes out and read a few sentences about a couple of students walking across campus with open containers of alcohol. A surprisingly high number of students somehow think they can get away with this, and it remains a constant plague on the cops. As long as students are not brazenly breaking the law, they will not get a ticket, just a warning. The campus police are generally good-natured and understand that the trivial little problems students cause will not do any real damage to the campus or its residents.

The RAs tend to be a bigger source of write-ups than the police are. While some of them will pretend not to hear the shouts of, “Pass me another beer!” emitting from your room, others will be suspicious of any closed door. The best way to avoid a trip to the judicial boards is to keep the doors closed and stay relatively quiet while drinking. It is also good to keep in mind that RAs and residents are not allowed to party together, even off campus. Living in the dorms is definitely more restrictive than living off campus.

I Really Don't Know...

Not living on campus I really don't know the policies concerning alcohol and the repercussions that will result from those actions.

A Great Place to Go to School

I think our school wants you to succeed. The police are more concerned about your safety most of the time. Many people partake in weekend parties. Breaking the rules is not tolerated in the dorms, but outside of them, you are on your own

Dorm

I lived in a dorm my first two years of college. Its restrictive, weekly floor meetings, curfews, boys couldn't stay past a certain time. Certain items were prohibited. An upside is they have a cafeteria and no extra bills need to paid while living there, its better for people who don't mind the restrictiveness and who don't want the responsibility to pay rent and bills every month.
