Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
It is believed that a few of the buildings are haunted. However, the ghosts are protecting those who are in the buildings. The ghost in our traditional dorm building protects the people that live there. The ghost of the theater protects the shows that are performed there.
We have the tradition of rubbing the rocks that our near the quad because they bring luck. There is a specific rock for each year. The freshman rock is a slab without any shape to it. The sophomore rock is more jagged but taking on a round shape. The junior rock is less jagged and talking on an even round shape. The senior rock is smooth and polished. The rocks symbolize our journey here.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is safe. There are blue safety lights that students can press and campus police will come to help them. We all have the number for campus police and can call them if we are scared to walk back to our dorms alone. The dorms are also secure because only people that live there can open the doors and anyone bringing a person that doesn't live there has to sign them in.
