Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The Winslow Health Center exists on campus with a couple of nurse practitioners available each day until 4 p.m. They are stocked with medicine for most anything, excluding reproductive health; the Health Center does not carry birth control or Plan B, although about a quarter of the students they see seek contraception or help with sexual health problems.

An honor code exists on campus that students sign when they first enroll, stating that the student will not cheat, steal, or violate College policies on harassment or discrimination. The students abide by this policy surprisingly well. Many students don't think twice about walking home alone after dark or leaving their laptops and books at a table if they want to go grab some food between study sessions. Security often provides rides to students into town to pick up a prescription, get a doctor's checkup, or go to the hospital if sick. There are several call-boxes across campus, but they are rarely used, although Security will certainly walk students home if called. Brooks Hall remains unlocked all day because it also holds a dining hall, but the rest of the dorms require card access to enter. There are no security cameras or anything to monitor the buildings or labs, but crime generally stays low.

Campus Security

Campus security is typically on the ball with minor things however, we do have issues with parking lots. They love to give out tickets for parking in the wrong lots...which would be avoided if the school actually sold the correct number of parking permits. The campus is safe, Ive never had an issue walking in the dark or have ever felt uncomfortable even when I stayed over the summer.

Security

Security on campus will get involved only on certain situtaions. They mostly worry about people smoking weed. If someone is drunk, they normally just point them in the right direction to go home. Even without having security cameras on campus crime is at a minimum. It does exist but isn't anything serious. The police never come on campus.

The Campus Is Very Safe

For the most part Allegheny is a very safe campus. Meadville can at times be a little sketchy, but I have never felt unsafe in 3 years here. Safey and Security officers are really friendly for the most part and are willing to work with students.
