grad castle Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hi all, Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but- I'm starting this fall as a biomedical engineering PhD student at a private research university, and I'm wondering if I can expect getting drug tested at all during the program. The school is in a recreational state and I have some friends who I'm sure will make the occasional offer. I've smoked occasionally during undergrad but don't have an issue avoiding it if need be, just wanted to get an idea of if it's something I should steer clear of.

Victorious Secret Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 If they drug tested grad students it would really reduce the workload for professors. There wouldn't be anymore pesky grad students to mentor. I have never heard of drug testing in grad school and would be stunned if it existed at any significant level, even outside the US. iheartscience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayessays Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Universities in general don't drug test employees at all, except for some employees in their hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boolakanaka Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Depending on what you might be involved with, and I catch that it is bio-engineering, there might be some legitimate risk management issues. D did a PhD in computational biology and was required to do random tests because of the subject matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier, many said that it was easy to go to university, but the process becomes more difficult every year. I have never used drugs, but my friend constantly uses drugs and they failed the drug test, but he came in a week and passed it again and was able to enter the university. You ask how he did it. Very easy. With synthetic urine. He found out about it and after a detailed review he ordered several packs and used them instead of his urine and he was able to enroll. We laughed with this life hack for a very long time. By the way, on the site you can find synthetic urine at different prices. Def listen to the guy who only made an account to give you a terrible advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro-tic Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I can tell you that Albert Einstein COM drug tests research (nonclinical) laboratory employees as well as all their PhD and MD students. This is probably rare but just so you know, some places are like that - I do not know what they would say if you were from a recreational state but it does seem wrong to discriminate against a legal activity.
