College Prowler Take

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.

Police on campus are awesome, so long as you are under control. They will occasionally go into bars and give out tickets to scare people, but I’ve shared a beer with a cop on a few occasions.

If you are smart and don’t get too wasted, they are pretty forgiving. However, if you fall in Lake Monona after a long night out in February, and break into the Monona Terrace, they are a little more strict—not that I would know anything about that—at least I don’t remember.

I’ve never had any run-ins with police about drinking or drugs. But then again, I’ve never done anything ridiculously stupid. Don’t spend too much time at college-crowd bars with a fake.

Every year, there is a Mifflin block party on Cinco de Mayo. Last year, there were at least 5,000 kids drinking and each house probably had about 20 kegs. There were about 40 cops there, and they were all watching us get plastered! They were super cool about it and there to make sure no fights or riots broke out. That’s pretty lenient if you ask me.

The cops are annoying. They are always in the bars checking IDs so be careful. I got caught and received a $345 ticket for being underage in a bar. For the most part, they don’t bother you.
