Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In a city with a sometimes-disturbing crime rate, Emory could not be any safer. Situated in a suburban enclave more than 15 minutes from any high-crime area, Emory’s few crimes are primarily committed by students themselves. Security is great; there is a fully functional police station directly on campus, and police patrol the area regularly. Other than the numerous petty thefts that occur each year, including some locker room wallet thefts, bike thefts, and dormitory laptop thefts, not much in the way of crime occurs on campus. Each dorm has locked doors that only residents have keys to, and a call box is located outside of each dorm to limit non-Emory traffic. Regularly patrolling police, emergency call boxes located all over campus, and campus escorts provide all of the security anyone could need here. In short, security is never much of an issue on campus. Keeping your dormitory door locked, and your bike if you have one, is the best way to avoid theft.

Health Services at Emory are also top-notch. Some students complain about long waits and sub-par service in the Student Health Clinic, but overall Emory’s medical facilities are some of the best in the country. The Clinic does not give medical excuses to students for classes, another notion that bothers some, but it does offer free and anonymous HIV and STD testing, along with numerous mental health, substance abuse, and birth control services. If something worse than a common cold happens to afflict you in your four years at Emory, you will be grateful for the experts available on campus to help.

Our Campus Is Pretty Protected.

There are a few burglaries and and random acts of violence on campus, but it's only because the we are very open to the public; it is not secluded at all. We have a hospital, graduate school facilities, and the normal campus buildings that make our Emory so we constantly have security patrolling around.

I've never felt unsafe on Emory's campus. There is a blue light system around campus and if anything occurs on campus, there is an email sent immediately to every student. Also, there is a program called saferide that anybody could call if they need a walking or driving escort.
