Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The drug scene on Purdue’s campus is much like the wind blowing through the trees—you can’t see it, but you know it’s there. The drug lifestyle is pretty much hidden away underground. Students agree that if you wanted to find such substances, you would have no problem doing so, but you won’t have pushers coming up to you on the Memorial Mall.

That isn’t to say that drugs don’t exist, but the most visible drugs at Purdue are the same that will be found on any college campus: alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine, with small doses of marijuana scattered here and there. A student could easily sail through their time at Purdue without ever encountering the drug scene—unless they really wanted to find it.

Neither Are Extremely Noticeable, but Drinking Is More Popular

Purdue has such a high percentage of students who choose to live in residence halls, which have zero tolerance alcohol and drug policies, that there is a somewhat less visible presence of it on campus. There are obviously still many parties that occur during the weekend, but the population that attends them is much smaller than other colleges or universities because of the format or university residences and greek systems.
