For awhile I think they got briefly worse?
My memory on the exact timeline is foggy but at one point there was some sort of dragnet/sting operation off and on at Main Circle to nab students leaving or coming back to campus. The roots of that were certainly in the early 2000s, and I had firsthand experience with similar operations.
Kids in general drink far less (and socialize in person less) so I could see things being different now, depending on how much the median ND kid has changed. On the other hand, the shifting societal acceptance of weed could be opening up other conflicts (again, depending on the current median ND kid).
