Are drugs a problem at Uni?

Hi guys
I've just been looking at drug use in universities on the internet, and noticed that the percentages are pretty staggering, to the point where I didn't really believe it and I wanted to check on here, with actual University students. One website claimed that on average about 50% of students do hard drugs like Ket and Cocaine and around 80% smoke weed. Even places like Cambridge scored around 33% for hard drugs.

I start uni this year in October, so I don't know for sure if these figures are realistic or not, however they seemed pretty ridiculous to me. I just wanted to check on here, as I'm not into drugs myself, and I wanted to be reassured that Unis aren't drug cities as these articles seem to suggest.
Cheers guys
Drugs are really common but the one you'll find the most of also happens to be the most unhealthy and dangerous - alcohol
