Its impossible for anyone to be everywhere at one time, but I do feel safe with the help poles around campus and the constant security checks and visible police officers on campus. Also any updates or information I need the school always has a way to inform me about it; whether its by email, phone, social media, or phone call. Knowing that safety is my campus police number one priority is always an ease to my mind.
