College Prowler Take

Warren Wilson prides itself on its more realistic approach to campus discipline. RAs and RDs are likely to look the other way of minor violations if no one’s safety is compromised but won’t hesitate to intercede respectfully if a resident is being unsafe or unhealthy. You are more likely to have a sit-down talk with residence life staff than you are to be written up. If you are written up, you head to a more serious talk with the Dean of Students.

There is a desire by the staff to work through problems with the student rather than punish and ignore them. No one in the student life offices wants to get anyone expelled, and most mediations lead to appointments with the counselor on staff that deals with substance abuse as opposed to punishment-style actions. That being said, there are some issues that require police intervention, suspension, or expulsion, and the safety, security, and health of students at Wilson is by no means compromised by the administration or the students. Violations that should be taken seriously are, and more minor transgressions are treated in a more lenient manner.

The campus is not terribly strict. If you are in a dorm drinking, then you probably wont get any trouble. If you're outside and public safety sees you, they will write you up. As long as you keep your drug use private, don't smoke weed in public, and don't drink outside unless you have a cup, then you will have no trouble.

Some people do get caught, and I think the College is trying to be more and more consistent. I think they really don’t want to have the reputation of a party school, and so they are trying to clean things up. Things are getting more strict, there is no doubt about that.

Compared to other colleges I’ve gone to, there seem to be a lot less write-ups at Warren Wilson.

Rules here aren’t as important as people. We live in a small enough community that things can be dealt with on an individual basis. We don’t need iron-clad codification to ensure a lack of chaos.

The policies on illegal substances are pretty strict, but I don’t know anyone who’s been caught. So I don’t think the College is very strict.
