Loyola University Chicago
- Health & Safety

Crime

On campus, we have large emergency 911 towers with blue lights on the top of them to call campus safety and the police at any time. Also, each student gets frequent emails from campus safety alerting the student body to any and all current problems with safety on campus or on the L. We also have an anonymity policy, where if someone you believe is suffering from any type of over intoxication and you are also intoxicated, you will not be punished for getting help. This really does help more students on campus to getting the kind of help they need from proper medical authorities. On campus itself, I feel pretty safe. However, I feel I have a decent amount of common sense to be taking active measures when it comes to going out at night to not be in a dangerous situation.

Campus Police

There are many policemen employed by the university, and they are usually around.

Great Campus Safety

Of course, it's Chicago, so there is crime...but Loyola's campus safety takes lots of measures to ensure students' safety. There are always security officers walking around campus at night to keep the campus safe, and the head of campus safety was a Chicago police officer for thirty years, so I feel very safe on campus. When walking outside of campus, however, make sure that you do not flash money and cards, because that might put you in a situation for robbing. Just be smart about your safety, and don't walk alone at night. Always bring a buddy!
