Not all Terriers use alcohol or drugs, but whether you choose to or not, it’s important to know the signs of an emergency and when to call for help. BU's Good Samaritan Policy means you can get help without being afraid — even if you're under 21. Learn more about this policy and the warning signs of an alcohol or drug emergency at https://bu.edu/shs/goodsam (link in profile).
