Dr. Jackson's Iron Fist

RPI doesn't see a lot of misbehavior that would call for unnecessary strictness so this is a difficult question to answer. On April 20th, (the well known day of marijuana smoking) campus security stood by while over a hundred students lit up their joints and let it happen. On any other day they are extremely strict about on campus smoking of any kind. Most of the strictness comes from our president who is constantly taking away freedoms older students used to enjoy, like using your housing scholarship off campus and not being forced to live in a dorm first and second years.

From Sunny California to Gloomy Troy

My hometown is San Jose, CA where we see no snow and mostly temperatures above 60 year round. Coming to New York was a depressing shock. One of my best friends is from Los Angeles and he had to buy a Happy Light to provide him with vitamin D during the winter because the lack of sunlight was making him depressed. It is upsetting to me that I have less than a month left before I leave Troy and it is still miserable on a daily basis, but I am spoiled coming from California. The snow, while it is a hassle, is a fun experience and I don't mind it.
