<p>i just graduated from SMU and i lived in a dorm for one year and a fraternity house for two before getting my own apartment. i personally have seen multiple people get involved with cocaine after initially having a strong anti-drug stance. i really don't think its fair to blame anyone other than the person putting it up their nose, however, if these kids didn't have a seemingly unlimited disposable income this would probably be much less of a problem.</p>
<p>as far as drinking goes, we do have a dry campus except for Saturdays before home football games. SMU comes down hard on alcohol and it is getting harder every year, and i agree with one of the previous posts that they should start to educate on how to know the difference between drunk, asleep, and unconscious, etc. although you're always going to have stupid, selfish people who are always looking for that next high and next buzz.</p>
