Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Are there drug users here? Yes. But, are they irresponsible? No. To the extent that it is possible to do so, those who use drugs do so in a responsible manner. Drugs are considered a personal experience rather than a social obligation, and peer pressure is definitely frowned upon. A "live and let live" attitude is pervasive amongst students, as long as one is not putting himself or others in danger. There is a vast amount of students who don’t use drugs at all and are respected for their choices. Using is definitely not necessary to be socially accepted. Frankly, New College of Florida would fail as an elite liberal arts college if its students could not perform up to its high standards. Because of this, individuals who overuse drugs don’t perform well academically and will be forced to leave until they clean up their acts.

Though it is less common, if hard drug usage does occur, it is done covertly. Marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes, however, are used publicly. Students tend to be moderate with their usage, making sure their habits don’t interfere with their studies. It is certainly frowned upon when one allows drinking or smoking habits to be detrimental to schoolwork. Still, the social tolerance of drug usage is probably higher at New College than it is in most settings. NCF is an open-minded place, and this applies to drug use, as well.

Everyone Watches Out for Everyone Else

Good thing is we watch out for each other. Bad thing is there is way too much drug use here. Lots of cigarette smoking all over campus and you can look around anywhere and see the ground littered with butts. Beer bottles everywhere, too, coming out of recycle bins.

A Lotta Drugs

Very intense and a big part of the culture. Very responsible and safe drug use, not necessary to partake in it, but the majority do at different levels. Alcohol is always prevalent, but not like other schools that play beer pong and such. Most students smoke weed, but its not considered a drug.
