College Prowler Take
Drugs are not a serious problem at Simmons—you need to dig pretty hard to find any activity on campus. The smell of marijuana occasionally appears on the Residence Campus, but this does not happen with enough frequency to cause concern. Over-the-counter drugs are more common for students looking to stay awake for a study session. Adderall and painkillers are present, though not highly sought after or abused. Hard drugs are not visible at all, and stories of party drugs stay in the clubs. Other than the caffeine kick a visit to Dunkin’ Doughnuts or Starbucks brings, alcohol is the most common drug of choice—campus programming is focused toward alcohol abuse rather than drug abuse. There is no pressure for non-users to use drugs. Students using any substance are generally smart enough not to get caught or partake on campus. School policies are enforced, but consequences are rarely neccessary. Although there are programs available, don't worry—there is not a not a DARE-program atmosphere on campus. Drug counseling and alcohol abuse programs are available through the Counseling Center and peer education discussion groups. Abuse and activity is dealt with through the student Honor and Judicial boards. Students Speak Out

The students at Simmons College...
The students at Simmons College are, for the most part, too driven to be involved in drugs. Ritalin or Adderall are probably the most common drugs, but a small amount of people are also known to smoke pot in their rooms.

Some people sneak off to the park nearby to smoke at night, but that's about it. I'm sure there are girls into harder drugs here, but it definitely isn't big.

I don't know anyone who does drugs...
I don't know anyone who does drugs at Simmons, aside from a few friends who smoke pot here and there. Certainly people drink—binge drink, especially—but if you don't drink, you can definitely find things to do. I didn't drink until sophomore year and never felt excluded. People smoke cigarettes but not a majority, and it's usually just a college phase anyway. I'm sure people do harder stuff, I just don't know anyone. Also, I'm an RA, so they probably hide everything from me more than most people!

The drug scene at Simmons is...
The drug scene at Simmons is basically nonexistent. There are a few girls who smoke cigarettes in designated areas outside, but I have never heard of any illegal drug activity on campus. If people do drugs, it is off campus.
