Do New Jersey alcohol laws apply on college campuses or in dormitories?
Although it may seem like many colleges and universities have a lax attitude towards underage drinking or binge drinking on campus or in dormitories and fraternity/sorority houses, the same alcohol laws that apply off-campus also apply to students on campus. Campus police can enforce laws against underage drinking, public intoxication, and driving under the influence of alcohol. Depending on the seriousness of a situation, getting busted by a RA for an alcohol-related offense may lead to the involvement of campus police and criminal charges.
