Drugs and Alcohol

Peer pressure and the freedom of living away from home can be a big influence on you taking alcohol or drugs. Student life may appear to revolve around alcohol. Attitudes about alcohol and drugs can vary and students from other countries may notice some differences. Choices about alcohol and drugs should be individual and personal to you. You are entirely free to live according to your own standards and should not feel pressured to adopt those of other students.  Alcohol and drugs have the potential to cause harm both physically, socially and impact on your academic studies.
