Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The police will not tolerate drugs or underage drinking on campus, so if you get caught, you will be in trouble—fined, sentenced to probation, kicked off campus, or worse. The key, as students often point out, is to not get caught. There are no serious crackdowns on drugs or alcohol and no random searches, so you have to do something fairly obvious to get caught.

Get to know your RA; some are lenient and will let drinking in the dorms slide, some are much more strict and play everything by the book. If the RA finds something suspicious, they will usually tell the Resident Director (RD), who then goes to the police. The RA or RD will likely just issue a warning if they catch something illegal, but if they call the police, you could end up in a lot of trouble. Be smart, and if you want to really go nuts, go off campus.

Very Lax

Most RAs don't care about underage drinking and drug use. If you're discreet you can probably get away with a lot.

The police are not going to invade your privacy unless they have adequate reason for doing so. Be discreet.

Campus Cops Suck, but Could Be Worse

The campus police will pull you over and give you ridiculous tickets, but they're state troopers working at a SUNY school full of rich kids so I'm sure they're just bored and bitter. Other than that, the school isn't strict. I popped multiple bottles of champagne inside a lecture hall after a bunch of my friends finished the LSAT, and no one said a word.
