Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Crime at the College of Wooster is rare, so Security & Protective Services is usually viewed by students as the team that breaks up parties and gives out parking tickets. Security is not out to get students in trouble and is usually easy-going in most situations. For this reason, students often don't take Security seriously. Security is a visible presence on campus. Because they don't have to spend time on serious crime, Security is able to provide students with a number of helpful services. When there have been more serious problems on campus or in the surrounding area, such as reported suspicious characters, Security has been prompt with providing students information and safety instructions. Security guards are available to help students 24/7, and they encourage students to call Security to escort them if they are walking around campus late at night.   

In addition to safety programs, there are also a number of health programs provided at Wooster. The Longbrake Student Wellness Center is staffed with nurses 24/7, which gives students a convenient place to go when they get sick. Students can also make appointments with doctors and counselors at the Wellness Center. Wooster Community Hospital is only five minutes down the street from campus, so if you ever need to go to the hospital, the Wellness Center can easily arrange a ride for you and send your medical records over to them. Students joke about the quality of the medical advice they receive from the Wellness Center, but deep down the students appreciate the dedication of the staff when flu season comes along!

Safe Rides.

Like most colleges, there is a wellness center that basically helps you out with all health issues. As far as safety, it's a small town and college so that alone helps a ton. Plus, if you don't feel safe walking alone, id cards allow only students to enter any dorm to avoid strangers and you can call security to have them drive you back to your dorm.

Health and Safety

I feel relatively safe on campus, but there have been at least two sex offenders announced to be around campus alone this year, one mugging, and other sketchy activities from the people living in Wooster. Security is minimal I believe we only have one security car roaming around, I don't feel safe walking home from the library at 2 in the morning alone in pitch darkness. It is a small school so people notice fast if someone is out of place, but they could definitely spend some of the large amount of tuition we pay to add some more security guards or lights to the night scene.

Safety on Campus Is Wonderful!

My procrastination on certain assignments meant that I would be at the libraries until the wee hours of the night. However, I never felt unsafe walking home and around campus by myself. Security was always patrolling, so if help was needed, it was always nearby.
