Is it true that smoking and alcohol are not permitted in the residence halls?
True, in both cases. In accordance with the university policy and to assure a safer and more healthful environment for everyone, smoking is not permitted in any building in the residence hall complexes or within 20 feet of any university building. Possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in and around the residence halls. The no-alcohol policy meets federal requirements for colleges and universities and the expressed desire of many students and parents for a quieter, more educational environment. Approximately 80 percent of the residence hall students are under the age of 21, thus the policy significantly impacts only a small number of residents.
