Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

At orientation, they give all the girls whistles, which they are supposed to blow in case some unknown assailant tried to drag them off into the woods. It was a nice gesture, but honestly, gas stations in Alfred still allow you to pump before you pay. The town is one in a chain of intimate communities where everyone knows their neighbors and familiar names are always in the police blotter. It’s one of the few instances where public shame is an effective deterrent to crime.

It’s a small campus, so you’re never too far from safety. There are emergency phones strategically placed around campus, and campus police are constantly patrolling on foot or on horseback. They’ll even escort you the whole five feet to your dorm if your whistle’s broken or you just don’t want to go alone. The greatest danger to students at Alfred University is their own boredom. There just isn’t much to do. The mixture of alcohol, idleness, and various types of frustration often leads to some pretty serious situations. If you want to survive four years at Alfred, bring your car, it’s your only link to the outside world and Wegmans, but don’t drive drunk. Discover clubs and intramurals and wear bright colors if you plan on hiking our nearby nature trails during hunting season.

Pretty Perfect

The University does a great job keeping us all safe. I have never felt endangered walking the campus at night. Public Safety patrols everywhere and has officers join student staff at club-funded events like concerts and specialty shows. The only downfall is the "beef" between Alfred State and Alfred University. Sharing the dissected plateau's common areas in town seems to be a little difficult for some and has caused some problems in the past. And sometimes I feel as though gaining entry to the dorms is way too easy, but overall I feel super safe here.

Alfred's Safety

I never feel unsafe while on campus or in town. My boyfriend lives on the other side of campus so I walk frequently on a back bike path all the way across campus, still I have no concerns while walking by myself.
