Soon I expect the university to allow drinking and drug use on campus. After all the kids are going to do it anyway and at least they will be able to do it in a “safe environment”. Universities are becoming the equivalent of a “cool mom”.

Most colleges are a lot stricter about drug and alcohol use than they were when I was going to college in the late 1970s.

At MIT, we had kegs for this reason, and that was in the 80s.

It’s actually gotten much tougher on most campuses to drink and do drugs in the dorms. When I was in college in the 70s there was illegal alcohol and drugs all over the place. No one bothered you. Most student unions had a place you could buy cheap pitchers of beer. Not any more.

This used to be the case. Back when the drinking age was 18, my college often had keg parties on the lawn and had a bar in the student center. Not anymore. 18 year olds are children now.
