The biggest obstacle standing between underage students and alcohol is their age, a barrier many find easy to circumvent almost effortlessly with some careful smudging, a little computer savvy, or a trip to Canada.

According to John Grela, director of University Police, approximately 30 to 40 fake IDs are confiscated on campus annually, mainly during routine stops for traffic violations.
