Study on Drinking on College Campuses

I have two kids in college.

My daughter is in a large, urban school whose Resident Advisors tend to look the other way at alcohol, pot, noise, etc., as long as no one is complaining.

My son is in a small, rural college which has a zero tolerance for most things: alcohol, drugs, candles in the room and any kind of noise at any time of the day. His RAs have searched trash cans just because they can. Seriously.

Two different types of schools with two somewhat different policies.

We tell our son that he needs to get involved if he wants to change the noise and other rules that seem extreme. And to question authority if he feels his civil liberties are being stomped on. But, we completely support the zero tolerance policy for  drugs and alcohol. A young person who discovers drinking -- and thinks an occasional binge is no big deal -- is better off being in the environment of his school. I just forwarded both the kids this research article that explains some of the reasons why we support the school with the no-tolerance policy that is actually enforced.

At Career Kids, we include a small amount of drug awareness products in our catalog and website, but they generally don't seem to be what our customers look for from us. I think we should expand our offerings because it is so important. Please let us know what you need and so that we can better serve you.

[Drug And Alcohol Test]

Good information. Thanks for these very good article. I kept on nodding with the every word you say.

[TLSAE Course]

College authorities should not encourage such habits in campus environment.They should take serious action on those students who consume drugs or alcohol.For this reason Florida state govt strictly says that teen drivers need to take drug and alcohol(TLSAE)Course before getting their First time driver's permit test.
