New College of Florida
- Campus Strictness

Pretty Lenient

My impression of the campus police is that their aim is to protect the students and make sure everyone is safe, rather than just trying to find rule breakers and punish them. There have been some recent incidents where many students felt that the police acted unfairly or were unusually strict, seemingly at the request of the administration, but overall the school is pretty lax about most things. If you are being smart and careful then you should be ok.

The School Is Liberal on Most Subjects That Won't Get Them in Legal Trouble.

The school maintains strict safety rules concerning fire code, events, etc. But, they certainly follow the theory that an intelligent group of young adults can be trusted to make wise decisions. The people who can't handle that sort of freedom/trust responsibly, tend to drop out within the first 2 semesters. There is an understanding between the campus police and the students that everyone is there to maintain a safe environment and the localization of parties to a very small area prevents any safety issues with DUI's etc.

Pretty Much Like Amsterdam

Yea, there has been controversy lately over shutting down the "walls" at 2am, instead of 4am, but under most circumstances, you'll have an outlet to party. NCF is by no means a dry school. You're not gonna find frat parties, I guess... to be honest, I spend my Friday and Saturday nights in an altered state of mind with an intimate group of friends.
