Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The truth is if you stay out of trouble, you may never really have an encounter with any of the public guards during your stay at NYU (besides showing them your ID daily of course, without which, you will not be allowed to enter any campus building). Often, students say that campus strictness is not very harsh, but everything’s relative. Some RAs and other campus officials are worse than others, but most students agree that if you are careful, you can get away with whatever it is you are doing. Mostly, students are busted for smoking (pot and cigarettes), drinking, or being too loud in their dorm rooms.

If you respect yourself and your fellow students, you most likely will not get in trouble. Campus police are rarely involved with students who misbehave in the dorms, so mind your RA, if he or she seems strict. You are unlikely to get in trouble with campus police if you act low-key. The best part of NYU being a private institution is that everything is handled internally. If you are caught drinking underage or with illegal substances, NYPD never hears of it—NYU takes care of reprimanding you within its own system.

I.D.'S - a Real Drag

Because we have no campus, everyone must show their i.d.'s everytime we walk into a school building, which can be a drag if you forgot it that day.

Mandatory Is Safe but Unfriendy Security Staff.

Mandatory ID for building entrance makes the campus feel safer--which is important after the events of 9/11 in my home city. The building guards often exhibit lackluster to poor levels of freindliness and respect.

Depends on Who Catches You

Some RA's are more lenient than others. But you have to be careful because RA's are always on duty, and that RA may not be the one on your floor, and may be stricter than your own. If you're going to do something illegal, be careful.
