Probably. Though, I’ve never heard anything about it from my friends who attend either campus. There’s rotten apples everywhere; just remember to be safe, don’t accept drinks from strangers, don’t leave your drink unattended, and have a buddy system to ensure everyone gets home safe afterwards. :)

…As to freshmen, it should be safe, but because I’m a worrywart, I’d advise your friend to hold off on being in those environments until he/she feels comfortable with being in a new city and has a support network in place. I’d rather they had a great first experience at university, and held off on partying a bit, than jumped in for the sake of it and got hurt!
