Strictness: What You'd Expect

Because of the size of DU, class sizes are small, and professors really get to know you. If you skip class, they notice, and depending on who they are and if you have an excuse, this could effect your grade or not. As for campus security, they are very strict on smoking weed in the dorms and also disapprove of drinking in the dorms, if you are caught. Campus safety officers are not really in your business if you're not in the dorms, though.

Campus Safety

Du isn't too strict. Yes campus safety will take you to detox if you puke in the lobby, a public bathroom, or are found passed out on the side of the road, but if you're just happily intoxicated they wont care unless you try to piss them off. In general, don't be a f******* idiot about it and you'll be fine. BTW if you need to puke at your dorm, don't go in the bathroom if RA's have access to it. Be smart, get one of your garbage cans, stay in your room, and puke in there. It will save everyone involved a tone of work and stress, plus you wont need to explain it to your parents. As for parties being broken up, it does happen if neighbors get pissed off, but nobody gets in trouble, they just leave and usually go to the bars. As for drugs, if you are dumb enough to smoke in your room, you could get caught, otherwise you're fine. I would suggest an air tight jar and a locked safe that the university cant access because then even if they do smell it, they cant get to it so you cant get in trouble.

In the Dorms...

I know that if you are caught drinking in the dorms, you are not allowed to study abroad. So make sure you are wise about where you hang out with friends.
