Very Lax Administration
Alcohol and drug policy enforcement is very lax. When you arrive as freshmen, the administrators will essentially tell you that they don't expect to be able to stop people from drinking, and won't punish it, but encourage you to get in contact with them if you feel you or someone else is at risk of serious health or academic problems. It doesn't seem like it would be difficult to get alcohol-- in my residential college (and most others, I think), there are groups of students who stock up and spam everyone's email accounts with information on how to get some from them during "alcohol-free" events like Spring Fling, dances, or residential college events. Pre-gaming is a big part of the culture (not just games or dances-- some people drink before big tests, too.) There are always events going on without alcohol, though, so you can avoid it. I haven't run across too many people who use drugs recreationally, but I have known several who use drugs to focus, study, de-stress, etc. Again,the administration is pretty lax with enforcing rules on drugs, even when there are health risks to other students.
