Finally, go into Rochester for a city adventure- Java's Cafe is a fav!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Campus safety is great! All of the officers are extremely friendly, and because the campus is so small, you will get to know them well. In case of emergency, all Naz students can get a Security Escort (aka creeper beeper) that can pressed to alert campus safety. Otherwise, campus safety is just a phone call away. They always respond very quickly!
