Cocaine in college

[Anonymous]

Of course it happens. My college kid and high schooler are nerdy introverts who surround themselves with other nerdy introverts and neither go to parties, so they haven't seen any of it with their own eyes, but I can well believe it exists. Exposure just depends on which circles you move in...

Try being regular middle class or poor at a good school. Also staying away from frats. Should work.

This is it and also social mobility publics. For example, schools like UC Davis, Rutgers and Temple should have a lot less of it.

Huh? Every school has this, to include the ones you listed.

OP, if your kid is seeing it, its because your kid is hanging out witg the kinds of people who do it. If your kid doesn't want to be around it (or get caught up in a bust), they should plan their social life more carefully. It is not at all difficut to avoid it.

I said they should have a lot less. Compare the percentage of kids with median family incomes in the top 20% in these schools with the same percentage in Top 50 privates and Top 25 SLACs. Similarly, compare Pell grant percentages. Cocaine is expensive, unless times have really changed.

Who would rather do cocaine than just pop a adderall. Cocaine feels so cheap and dirty compared to prescriptions.

Cocaine is for kids without health insurance.

A school having cocaine isn't the same as a student having financial access to cocaine. Cocaine isn't cheap. Cheap cocaine shouldn't be trusted.

It's one of the nicer aspects of being broke: you don't have the kind of money that buys that sort of trouble!

Did some of you people grow up in barns out in the Midwest? Cigarettes are not associated with “bad” kids. It’s not the 1950s. It’s more females than males who smoke. Some do it instead of eating, some do it because it helps during a really stressful incident, some are social smokers who only smoke at parties with alcohol. It’s not like the old days but some kids still smoke. They tend to quit after college when they go into the adult world.

I hope fentanyl isn’t at colleges, that’s sad. Cocaine has been on campuses for decades, so has Molly and for the studious kids methamphetamines.

Broke kids find a way. Attractive girls don’t pay for it. Kids can split the cost. They’ll use money meant for food or something needed.

You’re talking about the parent’s income not the student’s income. Why would you assume a kid would have unlimited money because of a high household income? If the parents are smart they would follow the money spent. They should have to answer to a $500 miscellaneous expense in one week.

So the choice is cocaine cowboy vs. incel? I’m not sure which I’d prefer for my kid.
