College Prowler Take
We may have our own police force, but Northwestern’s finest are more concerned about protecting the University, than about sniffing out every underage drinker. Drinking in public or traipsing around like an idiot will get you caught, but if you’re hosting a small get-together with your guest-list comprised of mostly civilized human beings, you’re most likely in the clear.
That said, don’t be stupid. If students abuse this laxity, we’ll no longer be able to quietly enjoy ourselves and the occasional drunken beer fest. Play by their rules, bend them a little—but don’t stomp all over them. And if you get the chance to let loose, for God’s sake take it—the party scene at NU could use a little livening up.

They are usually pretty understanding when dealing with parties. They don’t go out of their way to bust students. They’ll usually just ask everyone to leave. If you’re smart and don’t do anything blatant, you’re fine. |

Most people do drugs and drink underage without ever getting caught. If you are stupid about it, then the police will take action. |

They’re pretty strict, but on their best day, I doubt they’d catch 5 percent of the people committing offenses. |

They’re pretty lenient, unless there’s a huge raging out-of-control party. But just hope that if you get caught, it’s by your RA, cause otherwise, you have to pay a big fine and it goes on your record. |
