<p>Unfortunately, east campus happens to be the name of a dorm but I meant it as the east campus culture which is present in a number of dorms and even some frats. I meant to give a vague, simplified idea of where one might and might not find drugs without naming any names. Sorry.
Once you get to MIT it's fairly easy to figure out areas in which drug cultures exist and areas that are pretty clean.</p>

<p>I knew what you meant and stand by everything I said in my previous comment.</p>
<p>Going to have to also agree with Jessie on this one - your assessment of 'east campus culture' is exactly the reason my parents were terrified when they found out about my housing assignment, and why many of my friends can only visit my dorm, despite really wanting to live here. Thanks for the generalizations.</p>
<p>Drugs use was very prevalent at MIT in the 1970s and 80s, at MIT’s Senior House, Bexley Hall and ZBT fraternity in Brookline. I cannot speak for today. MIT had a fair amount of serious drug use at fraternities back then, often in the student population from New York City but not limited to that population of students. My dorm, Baker House was somewhat better. McCormick Hall, the all girls dormitory was better.</p>
<p>Abuse of adderall or similar</p>
<p>Students that take drugs assume their own risks. What can the administration do to prevent students from taking them?</p>
<p>You’re more than four years late to this particular party, Coloradomama.</p>
<p>You can get drugs if you want drugs, no matter where you live. This has nothing to do with it being MIT and everything to do with it being a place where humans exist.</p>

I’ve never actually met anyone who uses Aderall at MIT, nor have I heard anyone on campus talk about Aderall. Maybe I’m just sheltered.</p>
<p>^ I also haven’t heard of anyone using Aderall on campus.</p>
