50 Druggiest Colleges
December 13, 2010 - thedailybeast.com

"Operation Ivy League" last week snared five Columbia students, accused of running a large drug-selling operation. The Daily Beast ranks which campuses are hotbeds for student drug use.

When the news broke last Tuesday that five Columbia University students were arrested for selling drugs—including cocaine, ecstasy, and LSD—to undercover cops, the campus was stunned. Known as “Operation Ivy League,” the sting revealed what students at the prestigious university already knew: When campus enforcement and student activity create a “permissive environment” for recreational drug use, students are wont to take advantage.

Two and half years ago, a drug raid at San Diego State University culminated in the arrest of 75 students. Last September, two University of North Carolina students were arrested in a raid that resulted in the seizure of 321.6 grams of cocaine. And earlier this year, a Reed College student died from a heroin overdose, prompting the college’s president to issue a promise to curtail drug use on campus.

Campus drug use has been on the rise for decades, as nearly half of full-time college students binge drink or abuse drugs at least once a month, according to a 2007 study by the national Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse on drugs in American colleges. The percentage of students that smoke marijuana or use other illegal drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, doubled from 1993 to 2005.

The Daily Beast combed available statistics to figure out which campuses have both environments that may be permissive of drug use as well as a student body that partakes in illegal drug use. To rank the colleges and universities, we first turned to College Prowler, the largest student review database, to see which institutions had “drug scene” grades, which illustrate how students rate the prevalence of drugs on campus. A high grade, i.e. an A+, indicates that drugs and alcohol are not noticeable on campus and there is no pressure to use drugs. College Prowler provided an initial list of nearly 400 colleges and universities across the country of all sizes and academic rigor.

We then considered the surrounding environment, using the most recent data on illicit drug, marijuana, and cocaine use by state for 18-25 year olds, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2009 National Survey on Drug Abuse. Lastly, we referred to U.S. Department of Education data for the number of on-campus arrests for 2009 for drug-law violations for each school. An arrests-per-capita metric was calculated for each school based on the Department of Education’s student population tabulations.

The College Prowler grades were assigned a numerical value according to the letter grade assigned, which was weighted one-third of each school’s final score; the arrests-per-capita rank and drug use ranks were also ranked one-third of the final rank.

I share the belief of many of my contemporaries that the spiritual crisis pervading all spheres of Western industrial society can be remedied only by a change in our world view. We shall have to shift from the materialistic, dualistic belief that people and their environment are separate, toward a new conciousness of an all-encompassing reality, which embraces the experiencing ego, a reality in which people feel their oneness with animate nature and all of creation.- Albert Hoffman

This really doesnt mean the schools have higher drug use problems. It means the students are getting caught more than other schools. Which could be due to heavier law enforcement....  bogus study.

Smaller colleges aren't on this list, but the budget state colleges are most likely to have a higher percentage of drug users... Lower key, less prestigious, more goal oriented, you see the picture.

Also, Arkansas(coughurkansas) but no Kansas? :awewtf:

They forgot Humboldt university!

If a school has more students then of course it has more drugs, they should do it by percentages or something.

We don't get arrested for pot use and neither do Humboldt students. If this study is basing it on arrests, and since marijuana is the greater majority of drug arrests, neither school would make the list.
