Students Are Most Likely to Get Caught...
  • Downloading music and movies from the Internet
  • Playing loud music or being rowdy in your dorm room
  • Stealing books from the bookstore
  • Theft
  • Underage drinking
  • Violating parking regulations—UD could probably fund the entire University with the money collected off of parking tickets.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Over the years, UD has become more involved in its students’ recreational activities. They have been awarded numerous grants for the prevention of underage drinking, and they seem to be a bit obsessed at times. If you are smart and careful, you should get along just fine, but alcohol does tend to dull your inhibitions, leading to displays of drunkenness. This can possibly result in a strike and alcohol responsibility classes, or even arrest and expulsion.

There have been complaints that UD Police are so worried about catching underage drinkers that they aren’t actually protecting students. UD’s main goal with all of these policies is to show students that this school is no longer a party school and they won’t tolerate anything that will tarnish their new, serious image. Breaking the rules can have serious consequences, but most people find that if you are responsible, and use a little bit of common sense, you can have fun and avoid getting in trouble.

Very Unforgiving

The police at UD and the Newark PD just seem to be looking to arrest students and make money for the city. They give out jay-walking tickets left and right and it seems as though you can't even have a party anymore without the police coming to knock on your door and issue a violation. It is very annoying as students to have to deal with both the Newark PD and UD PD, as if one wasn't already bad enough.

Not Too Bad

The school isn't really that strict on the important things. In terms of drinking its pretty easy to get away with. The campus police may be around, but i never really see them get anyone in trouble who wasn't acting obnoxious

Tolerant

UD is actually very lenient. Campus police are pretty tolerant of drinking on weekends but if a student is clearly drunk and underage they will obviously get in trouble. The penalty for having alcohol in your room can be pretty severe, especially if it is the state police that catches you. A word to the wise: do not have parties in your room/house.
