Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Safety is a top priority at Illinois State University. Whenever any safety issue is reported, students receive a crime report through their e-mail accounts. This crime report details the incident and provides tips on how to get out of bad situations. This ensures that students are adequately informed on safety issues that happen throughout campus. There are also blue-light emergency phones located all around campus that signal the ISU Police Department when pushed; police will reach the emergency within three minutes. The Student Government Association implemented the Students on Patrol (STOP) program, which allows students to walk around campus checking locked doors and making sure security lights are working. Recently, a new program has been implemented called Safe Walk, which allows students to walk home with others late at night.

Health is also very important at Illinois State University. Students are supplied with insurance or can visit Student Health Services (SHS) if they are sick. There are also many other medical services at SHS, including women’s health, psychiatric services, preventative medicine like immunizations and allergy injections, laboratory tests, and X-rays. The people who work at SHS are helpful and patient; another helpful aspect is the pharmacy that allows students to purchase cheaper medicine. Students can either call the office to make an appointment or go online. When checking in, students are required to swipe their Redbird Card. Overall, SHS is there for any student who needs some TLC (tender loving care).

Safe and Sound

The campus seems very safe. It's a large campus, but I feel just as safe walking alone at night compared to the day. There are buttons strewn all across campus, so if there were something bad to happen, I could press the button and the police would be there within a couple of minutes. My dad didn't like the idea of me living on campus because he thought it wasn't safe for a girl to be out alone, but during freshman orientation, my dad was convinced to let me go to Illinois State because he knew that I'd be secure and safe.

Pretty Safe

I always take extra precautions with my safety. I always keep my door locked and at night I never walk alone. I really love the Safe Walk service Illinois State has put in place. It's nice to know that if there isn't anybody to walk with, all you have to do is make a call and a campus police officer will come to walk with you.

Campus Safety

I generally feel safe on ISU's campus. There is a late night safety service if you don't want to walk home alone as well as emergency blue-light stations throughout campus. Whenever a crime is reported we are emailed immediately and given safety tips.
