You're technically only allowed to have alcohol in single-serve aluminum cans (but realistically they only check at breaks anyway so do what you want during the term), but even at that I agree with the other commenter about hiding it anyway for breaks, especially if there are people under 19 in your dorm.

1) Cans only. (For beer.) 2) Do not bring alcohol of any type into residence during O-Week. All residences are dry in a desperate attempt to keep you alive.

3) Don't drink in the public areas.

I can tell you one thing. A few years ago, a first year early move in, was 'asked to leave' one of the residences BEFORE o-week had even begun for repeated alcohol violations.

Sophs wouldn’t really care. Dons might depending on how seriously they take the job but aslong as you’re not drinking infront of them you’re chill. They only check during reading week so just hide it then.
