Oh right, how could I forget to mention the cops? Yeah, my school had campus police, too, with guns, handcuffs, everything. At least they were pretty competent in keeping things from getting too violent. In all my four years, we only had one incident that ended in someone taking a trip to the hospital. On my campus, anyway...

Kind of odd how we had actual police on duty, and yet so many drugs and so much alcohol made it on campus and into people's systems. The school made very little effort to find drugs and alcohol, since finding stuff would make them look bad. Not finding anything made them look good and kept up their reputation of a "drug-free" school. They were more worried about their reputation than our well-being, and it was pretty obvious to all of us in every action they made.

"What? Kids are choking themselves to get a high? Send home a pamphlet about this problem, so we can say we warned the parents."

"What? You fell off that dangerously high sidewalk? You guys aren't allowed to hang out over here anymore! Put up a rail here? That's ridiculous, just stay away from this spot!"

Ah, I also forgot to mention that, right after I graduated, they put up an iron fence around the campus. Not a chainlink fence. An iron fence. Actual iron bars. But students have still found ways to get out.
