University of South Florida - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Although alcohol is consumed just about every place on campus where the residents are old enough to drink, drugs and alcohol are much more prevalent off campus than on campus. Marijuana is sometimes found in the dorms, but most students weigh the use of marijuana against the consequences and decide that it is safest to take their recreational drug use off campus. Xanax bars are also sometimes found amongst the residents at USF. The penalties for all drugs on campus are serious and can sometimes result in expulsion from the University.

The drug scene outside of campus is pretty big. College students have been known to use cocaine, smoke pot, take pills, and get drunk in one night. This type of drug use is extremely dangerous and has had some serious consequences in the past, but it seems that most USF students know their limits. Ecstasy is ascending in popularity in the college apartment complexes surrounding USF, but those who are not interested in using drugs will have no problem staying away from them.

You have to know someone who is going to hook you up with drugs because, apparently, they are not as easy to get as you might think they are. I don’t think it is an extremely bad problem. 12345 Drug Scene Report
