Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Safety is rarely an issue at Hanover. Because of the College's isolated and rural location, usually the only people on campus are students, faculty, staff, and the occasional community member. Sometimes strangers come on campus, but they are usually pretty noticeable because almost everyone in the Hanover community knows one another. Petty theft is sometimes an issue, but most of the time students feel very safe and comfortable on campus. Students typically leave backpacks, purses, and other bags outside of the dining hall without fear of theft, and most residents feel comfortable leaving their dorm rooms unlocked during the day. All of the external doors of the residence halls have locks, so only students issued keys for that building can enter. Campus Security is a highly visible and effective presence on campus. Many students know the security officers by name and are friendly with them. Most students interact with Campus Security because of parking tickets or problems with drinking on campus. 

Health Services is located in Lynn Gym and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Individual appointments can be made by dropping in or by calling the center. They offer physical exams, testing, immunizations and allergy shots, and can prescribe medicine. Services can be billed to your student account, but there is no fee for office visits.

Very Safe Campus

Hanover's campus is very safe. Common sense tells us to keep our doors locked to avoid petty theft or pranks, but overall you don't have to worry much about safety here. Campus Security is always on patrol just in case though.

Minimum Security

I have never felt scared walking around Hanover College at night even though we only have about two security officers on duty at most. Hanover is in a very small town and we are secluded which provides for a lot of safety.
