Police State Kills Social Life

I’m glad to hear that there is some social life. I had heard that the University had really cracked down on students, and that several traditional Drew events, like Tent Weekend, no longer existed because of college’s policies. I have a few questions for anyone who is currently a student a Drew.

(1) Do lots of students get in trouble for alcohol violations? Based on statistics posted on the Drew website ([Statistics | Public Safety | Drew University](Annual Fire Safety and Security Report/Clery Statistics | Drew University)), in a three year period, Drew initiated 1153 disciplinary actions for alcohol violations. This number is unusually high considering that there are less than 2000 undergrads at Drew. I attended Drew from 1995 to 1999, and I could count on my fingers the total number of times anyone ever got cited for an alcohol violation.

(2) What exactly is the policy regarding access to residence halls? Can a student enter another residence hall on their own, or does someone have to let them in? Does Public Safety need to let you into your own residence hall if you come back at night?

(3) What events still take place at Drew? I know Tent Weekend is gone. Does 99 Nights still exist? How about Hoyt Halloween?
