The CORE Survey is administered nationally through the CORE
Institute at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Texas A&M
administers the survey every four years.
Following are some of the highlights of the results of our
Campus-wide Drug and Alcohol Survey from Spring 2002. This was a survey of
1200+ students at Texas A&M University-College Station. All surveys were
given during academic classes between the hours of 9 AM and 5:30 PM. Surveys
were not given in any Friday classes. The participants were a representative
sample of Texas A&M University, including students from freshmen year
through seniors. (Less than 1% of respondents were graduate students.)
-
91.9% of Aggies believe the average student uses
alcohol once a week or more, but the reality is only 56% use
alcohol once a week or more

More than 4 out of 5 Aggies do not brag about
their use of alcohol.
