<p>Can anyone tell me about how large the drug scene is and how the attitude is towards students who abstain from drug use?</p>
<p>I’m an incoming freshman and have a bunch of friends already there, so I visit a lot. The drug/alcohol scene is definitely there, however you can avoid it if you want to. I sincerely doubt that anyone will treat you differently if you chose to abstain from drug use. I will say that if you want to go out to a party there is a 99% chance that there will be some sort of drug use going on. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>There are quite a few people at Pitt that smoke pot. There are also quite a few people who don’t. I’ve never really seen any sort of harassment or anything, both users and non-users seem to get along fine. Even within my own group of friends, there are both smokers and nonsmokers and we’re all just one big happy family :P.</p>
<p>I haven’t encountered anything harder than weed so far at Pitt. I’ve heard occasional stories about some people doing harder stuff, I’ve never actually been in a situation where such drugs were present. I’d say overall it’s a pretty benign drug scene.</p>
