Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

As a general rule, Taylor is an entirely drug- and alcohol-free campus. It's not coincidental; Taylor, understanding the potential harm that mind-altering substances (and addictions to them) cause, forbids the entire practice outright in the Life Together Covenant (LTC), which every student signs at the beginning of each year. Even students old enough to drink legally are not permitted to do so. Consequently, there are no "favorite" drugs on campus, no unique campus drinking games, and no students particularly known for how they can't handle their liquor. Some students regard the LTC's strictures as unfair, particularly those who are old enough to drink. Taylor, in response, points to its faculty, all of whom are old enough to drink alcohol and have signed the LTC and refuse to drink. The premise that the best way to evade an addiction to alcohol is to never drink it forms the basis for Taylor's policy. 

Drugs and alcohol aren't the only addictive substances Taylor takes a stance against, however. The LTC also forbids smoking, pornography, premarital sex, and any other substances or practices which could cause their students harm. These rules are not arbitrary; they are derived directly from Biblical laws with the aim to protect students from harmful things.

LTC Compliance Is the General Rule

Though I have heard that there are some groups of people who party while at Taylor, I don't know who they are. The Life Together Covenant sets guidelines for the campus body (students, faculty, and staff alike) that include abstinence from alcohol and drugs, and most students comply with this agreement. Those who want to party should go elsewhere to do so.

Nearly Non-Existent

At Taylor, we have few rules that are absolutely set in stone, but one is that we are not allowed to drink while we live on campus. The vast majority of students follow this rule, and there is much less drinking at Taylor than there was at my high school.

Individual counseling is available, but students may want to seek a referral for more serious drug issues.

Did You Know?
  • Drug abuse certainly happens on the Taylor campus, as it does anywhere else. However, most students are unaware of any drug use, which demonstrates that discouragement toward drug use is effective on campus, or at least that students have strong convictions against drug abuse.
  • Students are required to read and sign the LTC upon attending Taylor.
