Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With little influence from the outside world, serious crime in Hanover is virtually a non-factor. Bike theft is common, but Dartmouth’s Safety & Security team (S&S for short) does a good job of tracking down stolen property. Students are always encouraged to lock their dorm room doors and secure freestanding bikes to designated bike racks, but the fact that many fail to comply with even these relatively hassle-free guidelines demonstrates how little concern students tend to have for safety and security issues on campus. Blue-light safety phones are a near-ubiquitous feature on college campuses these days, and Dartmouth is no exception. S&S maintains a visible presence on campus and remains vigilant in the unlikely event that trouble should arise.

With classes, activities, and friends to keep up with, college students in general shouldn’t have to worry about their personal safety or the security of their belongings, and at Dartmouth, they don’t have to!

Small Campus

Since it is such a small campus, sometimes students forget or feel like they know everyone and leave their things lying around. Then those things disappear. Although this doesn't happen too often. It's just sometimes I forget we even have security on campus. Especially at night when I'm afraid to walk to my car alone. I'll call security to ask them to walk me to my car and they give me a really hard time about it.
