  • Fighting in bars

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus Police tend to have a relaxed reign over the student population. As a result, there isn’t a sense of strictness on campus. Bar and house parties are the most common places police will be interacting with students. Campus Police will come down on underage drinking and the use of fake IDs. Apart from that, though, students feel free and able to do what they choose.

As long as you use some amount of common sense or discretion, you really won’t have any problems with Campus Police or strictness. However, those who decide to drink underage at a loud party will run the chance of getting busted and then fined. Similarly, if you’re caught using a fake ID, consequences await you. In terms of academics, the campus is rigid. They follow the ‘zero tolerance’ rule that only allows you one act of academic dishonesty. After being caught, you are expelled, and the offense stays on your academic record. Weigh every option and the potential consequences before deciding to do something potentially illegal.

Be Wise

Police are friendly, but they can't catch everyone for underage drinking. However, many people do end up going to detox, and it is not uncommon to see police sending people to detox over the weekend, at football games, etc. Drink, but be smart and not stupid about it!

Pretty Decent

The cops and authorities realize that drinking is an inevitable part of a campus community. If your doing something stupid that draws attention to yourself then you will get in trouble. Otherwise if you keep it safe and respectable, you're fine
