College Prowler Take

Drugs do not seem prevalent at NCSU. Alcohol consumption is more of an issue than drugs. Like anywhere else, you will have a bad egg in the group, and those who are addicted to drugs are somewhat easy to pick out of a crowd just by appearance. You won’t hear of any underground drug trafficking here, nor is there much hardcore drug use. At parties, you will have your occasional pot smoker, but this, again, will depend on the type of crowd.

There is no heavy pressure to partake in drug use. It is easy to steer clear of drugs on and off campus. To get involved, it almost seems as if you would have to do research to figure out where to get any, or who even does drugs.

I don't think the drug scene is...

I don't think the drug scene is big at State, but the drinking scene definitely is. I knew of a few people smoking pot, and once in a while I heard of people doing hard-core drugs, but it was few and far between.

It's not everywhere, but it is definitely there. For the most part, it's just marijuana and drinking. Alcohol is the drug of choice, though, for most students.

Alchohol is the most widely abused drug by far. If you look in the right places, you can find weed and stronger drugs. Usually the people who get into drugs harder than weed don't make it past their first year at NC State.

Drinking is very apparent at tailgates and parties. Anything else depends on the crowd you are with.
