<p>How strict is tufts on its policies, such as alcohol and drug use?
I'm looking into the healthy living option, but I'm wondering how alcohol will be tolerated with underclassmen in other residencies.</p>
<p>The whole idea of healty living is that your dormmates do not drink/do drugs inside the dorm. Last I checked, the penalty is stiffer for those who chose to break it.</p>
<p>how strict are they throughout the rest of the campus?</p>
<p>They’re not very strict, although they got stricter this year. It’s very easy to consume alcohol in yours or a friend’s room, a frat, an off-campus house, etc, but now if you get caught doing it (mainly if either an RA catches you in a dorm, which is easy to avoid if you leave the door closed and aren’t too loud, or if you get TEMSed) you go straight to probation level 1. I’m not entirely sure what that entails.
So in general, as long as you’re not a moron and don’t drink yourself sick then it’s pretty hard to get in trouble.</p>
