College Prowler Take

Most TCU students do not consider drug use to be a major part of their life. Students who desire drugs, however, are able to find them. The most common drugs on campus are alcohol and marijuana. Hard drugs like cocaine and ecstasy
are less common, but they occasionally surface. A survey conducted by the Office of Alcohol and Drug Education found that marijuana use is common among TCU students, but still under the national average.

The drug scene at TCU is what students make of it. Those who do not wish to be involved rarely come in contact with drugs. Campus Police uphold strict guidelines for students who violate TCU’s alcohol and drug policy, ensuring student safety and stability.

I honestly never see anything. I'm sure at parties it's present but I've never seen or heard anything.

The drug scene is here, but it is not a noticeable part of campus life at all. If someone is involved with drugs, they can find their group of people that also do it, like in any school. I have never felt pressured by anyone to do drugs on campus.

The drug scene at TCU isn't that big. I have personally never been asked to try anything here. If people are doing drugs, it usually means they're smoking. Drinking is what most people prefer here.

Everyone drinks. You will see a few entertaining posters like "1 in 4 TCU students would prefer not to have alcohol at parties." They are lying. Most people smoke weed or are okay with others who do. There are lots of prescription drugs and a bit of cocaine. Doing it in the dorms is stupid because they have drug dogs occasionally raid.

You don’t notice until you start to go to parties, but people don’t pressure you. Many times, if you are new, people will offer you whatever—mostly marijuana. However, there is other stuff out there, like cocaine. If you deny it, they will say, ‘okay, cool’ and move on—they won’t blacklist you or anything. It’s not at every party, anyway. Most times, the druggies will go off into a private room to do their stuff.
