College Prowler Take
Students at MSU typically prefer to avoid the mushrooms and have some Bacardi instead. Those that do choose to run the risk of testing positive on a drug test will often light a joint rather than do any of the more dangerous drugs, such as acid or crack. Mushrooms are probably the second most popular drug of choice on campus, but a relatively low number of students have even tried such hallucinogens.
Alcohol is a much more serious problem than drug abuse, and rumor has it that over half the drivers in Montana after dark have been drinking. Thankfully, MSU provides the Cat Cab, a cheap way for students to get home from parties safely. Drugs are not a prominent part of campus life at MSU, and those who do choose to indulge in their illegal curiosities usually choose to do so off campus at a party or a friend’s house.

In all the parties I’ve been to, only once have I been asked to try anything other than pot. Drugs are just not something that people like much around here. |

Pot is common here, just like it is at nearly every other college. Alcohol is the biggest problem (if drugs are considered a problem), and I think I’ve met a total of two people who have yet to drink at a party. |

It seems like there are quite a few drugs available in Bozeman, but they are really easy to avoid if you want to. |

Caffeine is my personal drug of choice, but I have seen evidence of other, slightly more serious types of drugs at parties. I recommend just sticking to caffeine, though. |
