New College of Florida
- Health & Safety

Safety

I feel very safe on campus. We have a lot of the blue emergency phones and police patrolling often. They are not there to bust the students so much as to keep them safe.The police are friendly and helpful. Campus crime is low, things are stolen, but mostly by townies and if you take the right precautions this is unlikely. Essentially, lock your bikes. That helps a lot.

Reasonably Safe - Have a Doctor on Call

As has been publicized in the past, the campus is no stranger to bike theft. I haven't heard of any recent incidents in which a student was harmed by someone other than themself. The police are very smart about handling large events, such as PCP (sometimes to the chagrin of older, more bitter students), in such a way that only invited guests attend; they are a positive force on campus overall. No shortage of blue emergency towers. The health and wellness center could use some work; I've often heard that they're understocked and that their employees are less than qualified.

Totally Safe

I have never felt unsafe of New College property. Some nights I walk to the bay (completely across campus) alone at 3 in the morning, and never feel threatened. There are times in the year that students are warned to keep their bikes locked up or in safer spaces because of the amount of visitors on campus, but if one pays attention to those warnings, you should never have any problems.
