Drinking and Weed, for the Most Part

Colgate, at least for a large majority of the students, is a very large drinking school. Anyone involved in greek life will tell you that it is very easy to go out 4 nights a week, maybe 5. This being so, mainly alcohol is used by students. Weed is very prevelant as well, but there aren't as many kids who do it every day as much as kids who use it every once in a while, or after they're already out. Cocaine and molly make their appearances, but mainly for certain parties or in certain groups of people. if you don't want to touch drugs, there definitely is not a pressure to do so.

Not Very Strict

The first few weeks of freshman year are when campo is the strictest. RA's tend to write up big dorm pregames/parties since freshman don't really know what's going on and can't get into the bars yet, for the most part. Other than that, campo and hampo(the town police) only really write people up if someone needs to go to the hospital or for drunk driving or open containers. Basically if you aren't obvious, you're fine. The police basically never bust parties other than ones in the townhouses, which people end up stopping having once the frats start having parties.
