Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The campus police have better things to do, like giving parking tickets, than mess with an intoxicated college kid—unless of course you give them no choice, or you have made your RA an enemy. During football season, people tailgate along Lindsay Street and roll out kegs and TVs, and neither the Norman Police, nor the OU police, bother anyone. As long as you don’t give them a reason to bother you, then they pretty much leave students alone.

There are, however, instances where the OUPD must take action. An example: if a complaint is filed about the noise level in your dorm room. In this case, you will be given a ticket with a fine, and like one of the students interviewed stated, they increase with each instance. Drinking and driving, as students will tell you, is closely monitored around the OU campus. Luckily, any bar or party you are going to be at during freshman year will most likely be relatively close and within walking distance. Even though this is the safer route to go when you are intoxicated, trying to walk (or stumble) back to your room drunk can be a challenge. So, if you are not making a scene or causing a disturbance, you can probably go about your business without being hassled by campus police.

Punishments Are Well Enforced

The no drinking policy on campus is very strictly enforced. There are serious consequences given to those who decide to break the rule and drink, especially for those people living in the dorms. It is a five hundred dollar fee for the first offense, one thousand for the second, and fifteen hundred for the third offense. They also require all new students to take an online program that educates them about alcohol abuse and the penalties that go along with it. So in short, don't drink on campus!

Dorm Life

Dorm life is pretty strict. There are citations for several different things and they are expensive, and get more expensive each time. Also, the college gives you a chance to appeal your citation but never actually appeal them.

Not Too Bad

The strictness really is not too bad. I have never really experienced anything dramatic, so I'm not quite sure of the punishments. The only thing I would say is that they are too quick to give parking tickets.
