There’s a lot more going on at colleges these days than just studying.

On any given day, 1.2 million full-time students are drinking alcohol and more than 703,000 are using marijuana, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

More than 2,100 of these students are drinking for the first time, and about 1,300 are getting their first taste of weed.

An additional 239,000 part-time college students drink alcohol on a typical day, and 195,000 of them use marijuana.

The estimates come from data collected between 2011 to 2014 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which tracks substance use among Americans. About 25,400 college students participated in the survey, representing about 9 million full-time students and 2 million who take classes part-time.
