College Prowler Take
Students generally feel that they can get away with a reasonable amount on campus, and that’s pretty accurate. A lot of it can depend on your RA or RD, who will be the person writing you and your neighbors up and who will be the ones reporting you. As far as alcohol goes, if you keep things fairly calm and aren’t blatantly causing a ruckus, you shouldn’t have a problem. Drugs are taken more seriously, and use of them in the dorms isn’t usually a good idea—especially marijuana or other drugs that have an easily identifiable odor. Punishments for getting caught usually aren’t too bad; most include a “rehabilitation program,” where you go to a drug/alcohol awareness seminar for an afternoon. Repeated offenses can add up though, and eventually the punishments will get serious. Students Speak Out

Campus regulations prohibit the use of alcohol on campus unless you are in your own dorm and are at least 21. This is fairly strictly enforced; however, there is a pub on campus that is always packed for happy hour on Fridays for those over 21. There are about 30 RPI fraternities, and at least one or two of them host big parties on weekends. There is always some sort of drinking occurring on or near campus on the weekends. Drugs are another story. RPI is very strict about the use of illegal substances on school property, so there aren't too many incidences of drug use.

The campus isn't particularly strict with regulations involving independent, non-Greek students. However, regulations become far more strict when it comes to fraternities and sororities.

Public Safety does its best to break up a frat party if it isn't registered. If an RA calls in a report on drugs or drinking, you can expect to be sent to the Dean of Students Office. It doesn't happen often, though. If you are 21, you can drink in your dorm but not if you are going to disturb other residents. Basically, do what you want but be smart enough to be discrete about it, or you going to have trouble.

From my experience, if you are underage and drink in the residence halls, you're screwed. Off-campus parties are usually busted if they are loud, but most people get off the hook because they are just told to leave the party. However, if you are walking home plastered and a Public Safety car stops you, you're screwed.
