Visible, but Not an Issue
There definitely are people who use different types of substances. The University Police let it go, so long as no one is being harmed or disrespectful. Smoking in the dorms is not allowed, although people still do it and RAs occasionally write people up for it.
There is very little peer pressure to use drugs. If you are interested that's cool and if not that is fine as well.

Transportation Takes Time
The public buses run about every 20 minutes from campus to city hall. However, one often needs to transfer to another bus to get anywhere.
Campus has a safety escort service which runs from 4pm-4am daily, where students can call and be picked up from anywhere in a 1/4 mile radius of campus. During busy hours, however, this can come from 5-30 minute wait. The undergraduate student council also services shuttles to two different malls on the weekend. Unfortunately, the drivers are not always timely.
Taxi service is most reliable. But extremely costly because the city is so spread out.

Hidden Golden Gems
There are so many great programs at Clark for an array of students. One really just needs to put in the effort to get involved and work with faculty to find things that will improve the college experience.
For instance, Clark has many organizations which cater to ALANA, first generation, and international students. A sizable portion of the student population also has the opportunity to participate in summer research, study abroad, service trips, and stipend ans university supported internships.
One's experience here really is what one make of it.
