Ken Cooper
Bard campus is always under the safe and watching eyes of Ken Cooper, the head of security. If something has happened whether it be a car accident, a mangey fox sighting or some petty theft; Cooper will send a creatively crafted e-mail to all of Bard informing them of the incident and what their effects will be. Make friends with Cliff, and he'll have your back.

HIPSTERS
Bard would like to think of itself as diverse, but it's not. Students of the same race tend to form cliques together.

Balance
Bard kids are highly individualistic, and sometimes having too many of these types of kids crammed into one school can produce a very manic campus vibe. It's important to find balance at this school; have some friends you party with and a few to study with, but also seek at close relationships. Bard grads tend to congregate together so making bonds at the school while you're there can provide a full social life after graduation. But remember that you're at Bard to study, so pick a few professors, read their work, have them work with you and graduate knowing you got the best out of your education.

Crazy, but Safe
The drug scene is dependent on a few people and what they decide to bring in during different weekends. For big party weekends expect to see a lot of MDMA, cocaine and hallucinogens. There's not much pressure to do these drugs, but Bard kids are highly curious and willing to experiment. Everyone smokes, most drink, and cigs are smoked by seemingly everyone. Be mindful that security is not out to get you, but if they happen across you, doing something you shouldn't, they will question you. Be smart.
