 In addition to your academics, you will find a lot of opportunities to get involved outside of the club. For some students that may include attending events or gatherings that include alcohol. You do decide to drink, do so responsibly, and always have a plan for how to get home safely. Never get behind the wheel if you've been drinking. Use a designated driver for the late night bus, a free student fee funded program that runs routes on most weekends. Thank you. In fact, with your student ID, you can wear a St. Cloud Metro bus for free anytime buses are running. Grocers are available in the Ad World Memorial Center and list routes and daily schedules. Be mindful of who you are with and where you are going. Don't drink anything that you didn't open or prepare yourself. Make sure you go out with friends you trust. Stay together and be the trusted friend who speaks up if something doesn't seem right. If you do go out with someone new, let others know who you're with, where you're going and when you expect to be home. It's important to know that you can be held accountable by SCSU for off-campus behavior. We encourage you to be familiar with local laws and ordinances. For example, you decide to host a gathering with people under the age of 21 who are consuming alcohol. You can be held criminally responsible under the City of St. Cloud social host ordinance. The City of St. Cloud also has a disruptive intoxication ordinance. Individuals can be cited if their behavior, while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, causes a public disruption. This can apply even if you are of legal drinking age. If you find yourself in a situation where you or someone else needs emergency services, call for help.
