Some students choose a dorm that is alcohol and drug free.
They've made a choice before they get to college that they want to maintain a certain lifestyle and they should be commended for it. If you are not in one of these dorms, you're going to face a certain amount of peer pressure to partake in alcohol and drug usage, whether or not you're sure you want to before getting to college. Apparently not, since getting high seems to be a major pastime on college campuses. Many college administrations are clamping down on these activities, in part because of some relatively new federal regulations, the Campus Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act, but also because their use has been abused. It's one thing to have a few drinks, even to get drunk once in a while, but to get so drunk that you pass out cold is just stupid.
