Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The main drug in use on campus is marijuana. Stimulants are also fairly common during exams. RPI is not much different from most campuses in this respect. Most students prefer alcohol, with marijuana coming in a distant second. Overall, the campus has very few problems; even the number of reported incidents is low, considering the size of the campus.

Basically, any drug scene at RPI is limited to those who want to be in it. There is no pressure to do anything if you don’t want to, and those groups that choose to use drugs mainly stick to themselves. It’s important to remember that there are drugs out there. If you don’t want them, however, you could probably go through four years and never see a thing.

Anti-Drug Campus, Not So Same About Alcohol

Drugs are hard to come by at RPI, which is a very positive aspect about the school. Alcohol for underage students is fairly easy to find particularly at fraternities and sororities.

Study Hard, Party Hard

RPI is an elite school with a great reputation for academics. Students need a chance to blow off steam on the weekends as a result. There are always parties going on, but you're more likely to get in if you are female, as the guy to girl ratio is pretty poor
