Alcohol abuse increases student hospitalization

According to Student Health Service records, a total of 45 students under the influence of alcohol sought help from Student Health Services (SHS) or the WFU EMS during the first four weeks of school — 24 of these students were hospitalized.

In total, six more students have sought medical help and six less students have been sent to the hospital compared to last year at this time.

This year’s overall trend has shown that between four and seven more intoxicated students each week have shown up at SHS compared to the first three weeks of school last year.
