Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The drug culture is only significant to those who are involved. There are occasional hookah parties in the quad, but they are usually pretty small and are very rarely a disturbance. The students who smoke marijuana do not usually advertise it everywhere they go. So, unless you are looking for drugs, you can probably avoid them all four years at Muhlenberg. On the other hand, alcohol does have a more prominent presence and is harder to miss, especially on the weekends. But the campus and the city of Allentown have enough to offer for those students who want to avoid it all. Most students agree that if you happen to come across some form of drugs or alcohol, you will not be ostracized for refusing.

Although Muhlenberg faculty is worried about the increasing presence of alcohol on campus, many students feel the situation is under control. The campus does offer activities that sit comfortably outside of the party realm. For example, the substance-free house usually hosts their own events, and there are always student performances at the Red Door. As long as you keep your eyes and ears open for what student groups are hosting, students can always find something to do. In other words, students agree that drinking on campus is a choice, not a peer-pressured requirement.

There If You Want It

Marijuana is pretty popular here--its not uncommon to see people smoking pot in the quad. However, if you don't use drugs, you won't be pressured and you won't feel surrounded by it. I haven't seen much usage of other drugs, but I'm sure you can find it if you seek it out.

Drinking Is More Popular

A lot of students do drugs. There is a freshmen quad where stones sit through the entire day. Although, drinking is more popular. You are not forced to drink but mostly everyone does.

Not a Huge Party Scene

Alcohol is definitely visible, drugs less so unless you know where to look/who does them. They're pretty decently well used, but I feel little peer pressure to use them and I am usually in close proximity to them. I'm not very familiar with the enforcement policies but I'm sure that standards are often upheld in the proper cases.
