US Laws

The legal drinking age in the United States is 21. Purchasing, possessing, and consuming alcohol underage is illegal. Providing alcohol to people under the age of 21 is also against the law. It is illegal to drink in public and have open bottles in public places (including common areas in Owen Hall).

Marijuana is strictly prohibited on all MSU property and sponsored events. Medical and recreational marijuana are legal in the state of Michigan, but marijuana is still illegal under federal law. Therefore, the possession and/or use of marijuana during this program is against the law.

MSU is a tobacco free campus. Consuming tobacco on campus is strictly prohibited.
