Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Few Princeton students will find themselves under the scrutiny of Princeton’s campus police or University administration. Those students who do can be called in for any number of reasons, from climbing tent scaffolding at reunions to breaking into a dining hall after hours to get a scoop of ice cream. Room parties tend to be broken up not because of presumed underage drinking but because of noise complaints. Just as long as those students who chose to drink do so without breaking noise and open container regulations, Public Safety does not give them too much of a problem.

Campus police rely mostly on town police for taking care of major issues. The campus police focus more on problems such as noise complaints, which may result from parties where alcohol is served. The majority of calls to Public Safety are about thefts and alcohol-related issues, such as drunk students needing transport to McCosh Health Center.

There If You Need Them

I think the party scene at Princeton is great. In my short time here I haven't witnessed any campus police involvement. Most students are expected to act responsibly and all freshman are required to complete an alcohol education program. Drug use is not tolerated.

Unless You Are Caught Cheating, Pretty Hard to Get in Trouble

The penalty for cheating is very very strict--even small instances of plagiarism or copying a homework problem can get you suspended for a year or even expelled. Otherwise, just be careful; lay low if you're trying to serve to minors and don't drink outside and you're good.

Grade Deflation -- to Bitch or Not to Bitch?

You will get lower grades than you expect. Some people hate that. I like it, it means more when I get A's now.
