Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Security does a good job of warning students of the dangers of taking drugs and getting carried away with alcohol consumption. However, for those students who do get caught up in the drug scene, Student Health Services provide plenty of aid and advice on how students can control their partying lifestyle. Unfortunately, many students fail to take these services seriously.

Drug prevalence at UNC is relatively small. Of course, if you are looking to do drugs, you will probably be able to find some rather easily. You will by no means be considered uncool for not doing drugs. People at UNC respect each other’s lifestyles and decisions. The most prevalent drug at UNC, like most other college campuses, is alcohol. The most common drug that students are susceptible to getting addicted to is caffeine. This usually occurs before midterms or finals. Although drugs are more than likely available to any UNC student, they definitely do not dominate the social scene or UNC culture in any way.

Not Many Drugs...

I've never seen a huge amount of drugs (and what I have seen is pot at parties). There is talk of cocaine, but that's rare. I've never heard or seen anyone doing harder stuff.

Alcohol is VERY prevalent though, especially in the Greek community. Binge drinking is common and encouraged.

Alcohol Is King

It's hard to find someone at UNC who doesn't drink. Other drugs can be found pretty easily given enough time and patience.

Visibility

Visible on the weekends and on LDOC. But if you don't want to be a part of it you don't see it.
