College Search & Selection

<p>CC provides information elsewhere that is drawn from College Pr owler. CP rates a number of elements of college life and I thought it might be interesting and fun to compare on various characteristics of colleges ranked in the USWNR Top 25 National Universities and the USNWR Top 25 LACs. </p>

<p>Here are the grades for the Drug Scene at colleges ranked in the USNWR Top 25 National Universities and the USNWR Top 25 LACs. </p>

<p>Note: Not all colleges have data available (Caltech, UCB, and UCLA among the national universities and Smith, Bates, Macalester, USMA & USNA among the LACs).</p>

<p>wait, i'm confused...does a school get a higher grade is drugs are plentiful/easily available and lots of people use them?...some of these really make no sense.....uchicago has a stronger drug scene than duke?? coke and pot are very popular at duke.</p>

<p>^^ I am so glad you asked that. I thought I was being stupid...... I remember one report of an admission tour where the parent asked the tour guide about the availability of drugs on campus and the guide replied, "Oh, don't worry. You should be able to get whatever you want!"</p>

4

<p>lol, it's obvious that a high grade equals less drug use. that's why religious schools like Notre Dame and Georgetown have high marks.</p>

5

<p>I wonder why students from Grinnell use a lot of drugs...</p>

6

<p>if we're confused, imagine how the students filling out the questionnaire must have felt. this qualifies as the most unreliable student survey yet.</p>

7

<p>Students at Carnegie Mellon do more drugs than students at Harvard?</p>

<p>Times have changed. </p>

<p>Or the survey is grossly unreliable, as usual.</p>

<p>My first reaction was to assume that "good drug scene" meant that pot was cheap and plentiful and you were unlikely to get busted. Of course, I was in the class of 75 ;) .</p>

<p>I don't think the grades are accurate. HMC is definitely not an A...</p>

<p>"A high grade in the Drug Scene indicates that drugs are not a noticeable part of campus life; drug use is not visible, and no pressure to use them seems to exist."</p>

10
