- Drug Safety

Nice Lifestyle

While it would be a lie to say Willamette doesn't party, it's not as common as you'd think. On campus is usually pretty dead on weekends since most people go off campus to party. The Salem Police do tend to pick on parties when they're bored. However, it seems to be that those who want to party, will party. Those who don't will avoid it, and won't get bothered. You can easily avoid the scene without any peer pressure. But those involved don't complain. As for drugs, the only really open and obvious one is marijuana, which is fairly common. But other than that, if you don't want a part in it, you don't have to be there.

Drug

The only alcohol I see are at parties with not a lot of peer pressure.

Fair Amount of Marijuana Users

There are several substance-free dorms and they generally stay that way. Some halls are known for their stoner populations. There are plenty of cases of people being caught with paraphernalia or drugs, and they are usually sentenced to community service. The presence of marijuana is not a pervasive problem, though. People drink, too, but it's not as prevalent on campus as marijuana.
