Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As a small Jesuit school, Santa Clara is pretty strict when it comes to drinking and drug use, both on and off campus. Campus Safety officers patrol the dorms and campus pretty consistently and have little hestitation about writing students up for drinking or drug violations. 

CFs, (Community Facilitators, just another word for RA) also patrol the dorms pretty regularly , although it depends on which dorm you're in. CFs in the larger "party" dorms, Swig and Dunne, tend to police more than those in the smaller dorms, but no matter where you are, if you're really loud and obviously drinking, you'll likely get written up. If you're written up for drinking or posession of drugs, the school fines you between $50 and $100, and requires you to do a few hours of community service and take an alcohol safety class.  If you're caught by the police, the fine can be higher and they notify the University, who tack on their own fine.

Life at SCU: Campus Strictness

SCU is more laid back than you might think for a Jesuit university. If you do get caught drinking or smoking in your room, campus safety takes away all of your drug/alcohol paraphernalia. Like, shot glasses, the actual alcohol or drug in question, and you get fined and have to do community service. Don't drink or smoke in the dorms, be smart and you won't get in trouble.

Campus Safety

Campus Safety doesn't really get involved unless you are too drunk and need medical help or you are causing noise complaints. They are pretty easy to avoid.
