NUS strictest with on-campus drinking

A YouTube video showing a drunk freshman telling racist jokes earlier this month had sparked a debate on the appropriateness of on-campus drinking and raised concerns over youth drinking. A check on the ground rules for on-campus drinking across the universities found that SMU students are allowed to consume alcohol in any of the common areas of its downtown campus. The school's Lee Kong Chian School of Business has a bar, but students can also bring in drinks from pubs and convenience stores nearby. SMU law undergraduate Diedre Grace Morgan commented that even if there are rules, they should not come across as "authoritarian".
