Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

If you consider alcohol a drug, which by definition it is, then drugs are all over campus. Beyond drinking, however, the most popular drug is marijuana. Most students will at least end up trying marijuana by the time they leave UD, if they haven’t already. It is just around all the time. If you have no desire to be around marijuana, it isn’t exceptionally hard to avoid it. You just hang out with those who are similarly-minded.

Drugs that are more dangerous than marijuana are not so common. Ecstasy is the next most familiar, but it is rare to be offered ecstasy, or even to know someone is taking it. Most people will not offer you any of these hard drugs because they are expensive, and if they have an addiction, they don’t want to share. While these drugs do show up from time to time, you should have no problems completely avoiding them should you so choose. You should have no worries about peer pressure; you definitely won’t become a junky because someone else forces you!

Clean

Campus is clean. Some people smoke weed, but then again who hasn't tried? And I don't categorize weed as dangerous. Drinking is by far more popular.

Delaware Isn't for the Addicts

At the University of Delaware, many students are committed to their schoolwork and do not partake in any substance abuse. Alcohol is the only prominent substance used at Delaware. However, you will find that at any major university or college; thus it is not surprising. People largely do not smoke or do any other harmful drugs; which I believe is great.

Drinking Is the Main Problem

I know there have been party busts, especially at the sports houses. However, people drinking have never caused any major problems or affected me in any way. Some people smoke and that is the main part of the drug scene that I know of.
