Wheaton College (IL) - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

The Wheaton drug scene is very underground and hidden. Most students will never even see a drug, or even a can of beer for that matter, while they attend Wheaton. In fact, to most of the student body, it seems ludicrous to have a drink or do any drugs while at school. Before you come to Wheaton, you have to sign the Community Covenant—a pledge of your integrity, giving your word that, among other things, you will not drink alcohol or abuse any kind of substance while in school. The students who drink and do drugs completely disregard this code, and for this reason, they keep their activities concealed from other students. You actually have to go out of your way to find out where it goes on!

Honestly, Wheaton College is not the typical “Christian school.” Most people associate these schools as just having the Christian label while numerous kids get kicked out for drug dealing. At Wheaton, however, a very high majority of the students uphold its Christian values. Besides those who have one too many espressos during finals week, Wheaton students are very clean.

In fact, I think I was friends with a lot people who were in the little underground clique that does drugs and alcohol. Yeah, I do know the down and dirty of Wheaton, and let me tell you, there really are not many people involved at all. And, the ones that are in the group are pretty stupid about it. Some people have the most ridiculous justifications for coming to a school where you’re not supposed to drink or smoke, and then they choose to throw their integrity out the window. It’s just stupid.” 12345 Drug Scene Report
