Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

NC State considers safety a top priority. The campus grounds are dotted with blue-light emergency phones, and Campus Police offers an escort service for students. Despite their positive role on campus, though, they’re often shown disdain by the students because of their role in monitoring underage drinking. Another common complaint is the massive number of parking tickets distributed.

Bicycle storage and dorm entrances are also not very tightly secured. All dorms are locked, and students are supposed to verify their residence in a dorm using their IDs or call a room using the speaker phones outside the hall, but the majority of the time, students let one another in, regardless; there are usually no security guards around the dorm entrances. Many bike racks are near dorms and classroom buildings, and after a bike has been stolen, a student’s only recourse is to file a report with Campus Police; there is typically nothing the police can do, unless someone saw a suspect. Overall, students feel that Campus Police have the right priorities, but there is room for improvement in a few areas.

Big School Safe

I have never felt unsafe on NCSU campus. It is a big, but they keep it safe. You have to have a key to get into the dorm then into your own suite, so there is little chance of petty theft.

Health and Safety

I feel fairly safe, but in the past two months here there have been about six people who have fallen victim to armed robberies. These usually happen to girls. They tell us to walk with friends, but the other day I woke up to an email saying there was an armed robbery on campus with two girls being the victims.

Safe as Safe Can Get

State has one of the best Health and Safety Centers. I get escorted from my dorm to my night classes and do not have to worry about someone attacking me.
