Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

At MSU, most students seem to feel generally safe and have few qualms about staying late at the library, then walking home bleary-eyed. The campus has no blue-light centers where students can pick up a phone and get campus police. The cops patrol the campus in the cars throughout the night, but as there are only streets around the perimeter of the Centennial Mall, where the majority of buildings are, they would not be able to see anything happening behind the SUB or Montana Hall. Despite the lack of security, many still find MSU to be a secure place.

The school does a much better job trying to keep drunk driving down, one of the biggest criminal problems in Montana. The Cat Cab is always available to pick up students from parties, no questions asked. As the campus is surrounded by nice, safe neighborhoods, students will sometimes choose to walk back to their dorms if the party is nearby. And while the residents of these nice neighborhoods do not usually enjoy hearing a bunch of drunk college students laughing and singing outside their windows, they do understand that Bozeman is a college town and rarely report anyone for causing a small disturbance.

Safety

Campus crime is usually to a minimum, but there were some rape cases filed right before the end of the spring semester. It's always smart to walk with other people, especially when it's dark.

There Are Police?

I've only ever seen parked campus police cars, never an actual policeman or security guard.

Safe at Montana State

Campus is so safe people need to make up crimes. The semester began with a girl falsifying a claim that she was molested on campus. Eventually the cops figured out it was the lie. The most dangerous thing on campus that you need to worry about are icy side walks and jerks that break off pieces of your bike. But its nothing that using a lock and walking carefully can't prevent. Its a good campus to live on.
