College Prowler Take
Students living on campus feel as though the campus police and RAs are more concerned with getting them in trouble than keeping them safe. There are strict rules about noise, alcohol, and drugs in the dorms. Although violation of these rules are dealt with through school and not through the police, students still feel that UCSD can be unnecessarily strict with its on-campus students.
If students living on campus are responsible and generally follow the campus rules, then they do not have problems with the Campus Security officers. As long as parties are kept small, inside, and reasonably quiet, good times can be had in the dorms and in the on-campus apartments.

Drinking in the dorms is easy to get away with if you are smart about it, which means not a lot of people and not a lot of noise. Your first offense won't really hurt you unless you end up in detox or they find drugs.

It is very strict. The officers at UCSD are not here for protection, they are here to crack down on the parties. Two of my roommates got kicked out for weed—among other things—but if you do your thing in the right way, you won’t get caught. They are mainly concerned with weed. With alcohol, you can get away with it several times before getting kicked out of the dorms. |

We are officially a dry campus, but everyone seems to get the alcohol on campus somehow. Drugs aren’t a problem. Drinking was more off campus or in the dorms themselves. Campus police would come in and try to regulate if there was a noise violation. |

The campus is pretty strict about those things. I’m pretty sure that we are a zero tolerance school, and UCSD in general is pretty dry. |
