<p>What about “substance free dorms” ? We were told by a student guide at one college tour that these dorms tend to collect those that already have substance problems and will turn out to be worse (as people relapse).</p>
<p>Anybody have experience with these? </p>

<p>My D is on a substance -free floor at the University of Miami. She has met ZERO rehabbers. The kids are still great and fun, just more studious and interested in a wide variety of extra curriculars that don’t involve vomit!</p>
<p>BTW</p>
<p>The University of Miami is NOT the party school that some have made it out to be. The Administration has a zero tolerance policy. Partying ON campus is minimal. There is NOT a big Greek scene. Most partying happens OFF campus at house parties held by upper classmen, at the bars in Coconut Grove or at the bars in South Beach (which is kinda far from campus and not easy to get to). At orientation the campus police informed us that Florida has a fairly recent new law that makes getting caught with a fake ID a FELONY!!!
I can not stress enough how having a felony on your record would screw up your life.</p>
