Medical Amnesty and Good Samaritan Policies

Let's be honest - it's college: most people drink and party while they're here. However, there are those that don't drink as well. But if you do, be careful not to hold a cup on the street, or the cops will cite you. But when they go to break up parties, they're just going to come in and shut it down, not usually write anyone up unless they're openly holding alcohol and they ask to see an ID.

If you happen to get too intoxicated and one of your friends call the EMS because they're worried about you, whether or not their intoxicated as well, there will be a reduction of penalties because SCU tries to promote looking out for everyone. These policies are called Medical Amnesty and Good Samaritan. Look them up online for more info.

They're really strict on the policies if you continually break them, but otherwise, first offenses are really chill. You just have to talk to the Resident Director of your dorm, complete more alcohol-awareness training online, and do a certain number of hours for community service.

They're There If You Want Them!

So, I'm not a partier, but I have a LOT of friends that love to party, and they go out almost every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night. They always have crazy stories and fun times to tell us about the next day, so I assume the party scene is pretty decent! (at least if you're a girl, from what I hear it's harder for guys to get into parties)

Inconsistent at Best

One of my friends has gotten practically four strikes, but hasn't gotten into any real trouble because of it, whereas I know quite a few people that were kicked out of my dorm because of alcohol and drug use.
