Dickinson College
- Health & Safety

Safe as Could Be

Dickinson campus is very safe. I've never felt unsafe or heard of a situation where someone felt unsafe. DPS is present on campus but they aren't here to get students in trouble. You can leave your stuff laying around with no worries and peoples doors are always left unlocked. As far as health services go, it is free but they aren't open on weekends.

Safest Bet

There are many locations on campus in which there is the Blue Light System in which any person in danger can use it which will send a request to the college public safety department. The public safety is comprised of police officers and people who will go out of their way to protect students should need be. In the small town of Carlisle, P.A., there is no danger as the local police also does a great job to keep people safe. The college has several safeguard measures that notify students via text/email should there be a safety issue on campus. Also, the college requires all students to go through sexual prevention activities to educate the students on how to avoid predation and to prevent sexual abuse on campus.

Good Campus Security Presence

You see campus security patrolling the grounds and surrounded streets constantly. They are very friendly as well. Poverty in Carlisle is pervasive and so there is a highly skilled security team. They are especially skilled at giving out MIPs and failing to catch the numerous sexual predators.
