College Prowler Take

Overall, what you’ll be able to get away with will be determined by those responsible for your actions. If your RA is really strict, you’ll be written up for noise violations, having alcohol, and especially any drug use. Test the waters with your RA before doing things you could get in trouble for. If you don’t respect that your RA has a job to do, they’ll be stricter with you, and getting to know them is a good idea. The campus police say they won’t arrest students for being drunk, only for causing a disturbance or underage possession, so don’t be afraid to walk home directly from an off-campus party and go past the police, as long as you don’t have alcohol on you.

The campus is strict enough to keep people happy and safe but also leave you in control of your own destiny. If you’re loud and have alcohol in your room as an undergraduate, you can expect to be written up for it. Multiple writeups will land you on the waiting list for housing—a literal purgatory—until you come to the hellish realization that you’re guaranteed not to have a place to live next year.

Not Bad

A-

Freshman year is the most strict. The RAs care a lot more about what the freshmen do and if they're following the rules. After freshman year it's not that strict. It becomes "dont ask, dont tell...dont see, dont get in trouble"

Police Are Chill

A-

you can get written up in dorms but it depends on your RA, some allow extremely load music and dancing while others dont. But the police are only there to help, walking down the rape trail towards carriage you will see police that guide you to the parties, just dont have a backpack filled with beer if you are a boy, you will get it taken away and a ticket.

They seem to be getting more and more strict. On weekend nights you can see many police officers patrolling.

Campus police are strict on drinking (by minors) and drugs, but it’s easy not to get caught. Don’t drink outside or on the street. If you’re drinking or doing drugs in the dorms, just make sure the door is shut or there are no RAs around. In the dorms, it always helps if you’re less noisy, too, since it attracts more attention if you are noisy.

If they see something they’ll charge you, but they don’t try to be mean about it.
