Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students at Illinois Wesleyan are very much responsible for their own actions. This can be a double-edged sword for many students as they adjust to their newfound freedoms and responsibilities. Authority figures are not noticeably visible on campus. Professors, faculty, and students regard each other equally. Security and students tend to work together rather than be at odds with one another. Some students even volunteer to work Security shifts as part of their work-study.

Perhaps the most exciting thing to happen to a student Security officer in recent years was when someone decided to drive their car across the quad. The Security officer threw his flashlight through the windshield, narrowly escaping injury. This is about the extent of major troublemaking on campus. For that reason, Security spends most of their time checking parking permits, making their rounds, and playing solitaire on the computer. This isn’t to say the staff is lazy; they just haven’t got a whole lot to patrol. Cooperative efforts among students, faculty, and school and local security officials create an atmosphere of comfort and safety. Strictness is most evident as a self-imposed virtue among the student body. In order to get things done, you need to keep yourself disciplined, and not rely on other people to keep you
in line.

Don't Worry About It

As long as you aren't trolling down the hallway with a beer in hand, you should be fine. The only other restriction is you can not have alcoholic memorabilia (shot glasses, empty bottles) in the room. However, they only check during breaks, and do not go through your stuff, just if it is out. Even then, there is no punishment for this. People party in the dorms (upperclassmen) quite often. You should be more concerned about off campus parties when it comes to drinking tickets.

Campus Strictness

While some campus policies are strictly enforced, it alld epends on who is around seeing the violation. IWU does allow students lots of freedom.
