College Prowler Take
With a closed campus, fully-trained police officers, on-site ambulance service, blue-light emergency phones, and Safe Ride vans making the rounds at night, most students would feel safe anywhere on campus, and at any time. Students acknowledge that dorm safety is in their hands and that it can be relatively easy to get into the dormitories if one waits by the door. However, an intruder would have to gain access to the closed campus before even approaching the dormitories. Overall, major incidents are rare, and should something go wrong, the school is more than prepared. Some students may complain about an overly-protective security system on campus, but few would argue for the alternative. It just shows that students trust each other to act respectably and responsibly, making it easy to take an effective system for granted. Students Speak Out

Safety Is a First at BU
A+
BU's number one priority after education and it's students is safety. Our campus includes everything from 24 hour police patrol, walking and driving escorts for late night trips on campus, late night security entrance to ensure only students enter campus, blue lights safety phones, etc. I even live in corridor style buildings and leave my door open all the time and nothing has ever been stolen. There isn't a time when I have felt unsafe.

The campus does a pretty good job with safety. They set up those Safe Ride vans, they have the blue lights, they close the open access to campus after 12 a.m., and the police are pretty much always around campus. |

I would have to say that security...
I would have to say that security and safety are both very tight. There are cops all over the place. I was toking in the woods like a mile away from any road, and I still got caught by the cops. |

Things like harassment or...
Things like harassment or vandalism usually occur as spot incidents when people are drunk in their dorms, but nothing really serious usually happens. As for personal safety and off-campus safety, it usually depends a lot on where you are and who you’re hanging out with, but I’d say that the campus is very safe. |

The campus is a closed-type campus...
The campus is a closed-type campus with a main street that goes around the whole thing in the shape of the brain (therefore, that street is called ‘the Brain’). You can walk from one end of campus to the other in 20 minutes or less. And there are blue-light phones all over campus, so that you can contact campus security if you are in trouble. |
