<p>I'm applying to Bard, Hampshire, and Bennington, and I just wanted to know what the drug scene was like in these colleges....Is it very hardcore or just the usual pot-smoking and alcohol...
(PS: I meant if you are IN bard, bennington, and hampshrie... not HAVE)</p>
<p>I can talk about Bennington--there are lots of fun parties here (we are famous for our theme parties) and many people who drink and/or smoke pot. There are also plenty of people who do not, and there is never any pressure to do so. I know there are some harder drugs here too (mushrooms, coke, etc.) but you have to be looking for them. I have never personally seen anyone doing them. I am not really in to any of that stuff and I have never found it to be an issue at all. I have lots of friends here(some who party and some who don't) and I go to all of the events/parties and usually have a really good time. I have a couple of friends at Hampshire and I think the situation is pretty much the same there. Generally, I think that there is probably a little less drinking at these schools than at many more tradition schools, and a little more pot smoking.</p>
<p>Know a lot of peopel at Hampshire, lot of pot smoking and drinking but very laid back about it.</p>

<p>I don't know that those are "harder" than marijuana. Coke, maybe. They're just different.</p>
<p>Are you seriously denying that cocaine is "just different" than weed?</p>
