Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Drug use on campus is hardly a visible presence, and most students who do drugs aren’t doing them daily. You can occasionally run into softer drugs somewhere on campus, but, again, this is not a daily occurrence. Of course, there are a few kids who just sit around and smoke up all day, but it will require a search to find them. The drug of choice on campus by far is alcohol, as it is the most common and most accessible. Villanova is a dry campus and the police are pretty strict, so the use of any type of drug can become problematic if you are not intelligent about it.

Villanova has about the same amount of drug use as your average college or high school, and there is no pressure to get involved. While there are rumors that there is a heavy cocaine-using population on campus, there are few occasions where people are seen using it. Getting your hands on drugs isn’t overly complicated. If you are looking for drugs, they are not hard to find, but it is not something prevalent on campus. If you don’t do it, no one is going to bother you.

Don't See Much of It

Some people smoke cigarettes or pot, but the vast majority just drink. It does depend on who you hang out with, but I would say that at Villanova drugs aren't hugely popular.

Drinking Is Dominate Here

There are no real traces drunkenness on campus, no is there any pressure to drink or do drugs. Villanova is pretty strict about their liquor policies. Even if someone is 21, they are only allowed to keep a limited amount of liquor in his/her dorm room at any given time. As for the drug scene, not many people do drugs here, there are more drinkers in general.

Very Strict Campus

Villanova is very intolerant of drugs. It sucks. You don't want to risk disciplinary action or expulsion. A lot of people drink but if they catch you, then youre in trouble
