Syracuse University
- Campus Strictness

Alcohol and Drugs Are Everywhere

There is a huge abundance of alcohol and drug use on campus, you can get anything that you want at almost any time. It doesn't matter whether you are underage or not, you can get drinks/drugs at every party. To get into a party, you can simply walk down any Euclid street on a Friday or Saturday and find a place. Off campus parties have their own Facebook page. People on my all-freshman floor constantly smoke and drink at any and all hours and are never reprimanded. It all depends on your RA, though. That being said, Friday and Saturday nights are filled with ambulance trills bringing students to the health center to get their stomachs pumped. You need to watch yourself. It can be really dangerous.

People Are on Your Side

The campus as a whole treats students like college students. Certain organisations are more strict, suck as the dining halls, and the residence halls. However DPS (Department of Public Safety) is very nice and helpful and usually is looking out to keep people safe and not to just arrest people. They are even known to play a game of beer pong or two on big weekends. But they still will make arrests if needed.

The main thing is that the people of the university give you the impression that they are working to help you and not to inhibit you.

Some RA's can be bitchy though.

Campus Strictness

Campus is not that strict. I know at some schools if you go to the hospital for intoxication you get expelled. Syracuse has a couple offenses before it gets to that point.
