Drug use on college campuses is a large problem. Because people tend to associate with others who engage in similar behaviors as they themselves do, measuring exposure to drugs can give a picture of what drug use on a college campus is like. This study examines the drug use exposure of 218 undergraduate students at Seattle University, and measures demographic factors and lifetime, last month, and last week exposure to drugs. It was found that class standing is related to recent exposure and current living arrangements influences total exposure overall (lifetime and recent.)
