@london203 My son will be attending CofC in the Fall. We just returned from orientation last week , and I will tell you that I am VERY impressed with the police department on campus and in Charleston. I also am friends with a local police officer, and I can tell you that there were some inaccuracies with that article . If your child chooses to attend CofC, they will be safer there now , even more than even last year. Drug use occurs on all college campus including the Ivies , UCs and Georgetown. Greek life was just one aspect of the problem. These pledges chose to participate , and it was one specific fraternity. There are many opportunities to participate in college life without Greek participation . After orientation last week , speaking to my friend and the police department on campus , I feel very comfortable with my son attending there. I commend the PD for their efforts, and I’m not naive enough to believe that it doesn’t happen at other schools. They just haven’t been caught yet. Good luck with your tour. It is truly a personal decision where your child attends. I totally understand needing to feel comfortable with that choice. Please feel free to PM if you have any questions regarding anything about CofC.
