Arrested While in College?

Don't let this affect your future!
College is an experience that most Americans do not want to miss. The opportunity
for higher education, the idea of a prosperous future, and the chance
to grow into your own are all huge draws for college-aged students; however,
college does provide many temptations that are hard for some students
to ignore. For many, living on their own for the first time and being
surrounded by other college students presents a unique set of problems.
Some college campuses are notorious for fraternity and sorority parties,
house parties, clubs, and other social entertainments that can lead many
college students down a quickly destructive path.
It is estimated that the average college student will attend at least 62
parties per year. With that said, each year, nearly 110,000 college students
are arrested for alcohol-related offenses, including
DUI and
underage drinking. Also high up on the list of arrests for college students are the possession of
fake IDs and the more serious offenses of
drug crimes and
date rape. All of these charges hold heavy penalties, including jail time, serious
fines, and possible strikes against your record. Some schools, especially
if you are on an athletic or academic scholarship, will drop you from
your scholarship or hold other penalties against you, including loss of
dorm privileges or mandatory counseling.
