College Prowler Take
The tone on campus changed forever with the school shooting that occurred in February 2008, but it will still be shocking to most incoming freshmen just how much they can get away with and the level of freedom they will experience without their parents looking over their shoulders. The University will often look the other way when it comes to underage drinking, but carrying any type of weapon on campus, no matter your reason, is a one way ticket out of college. Violence is not accepted on any level, and the University comes down hard on anyone threatening the safety of its students.
Most Community Advisors are cool and too concerned with their own lives to enforce most dorm regulations, as long as you don’t threaten their cushy existences by drawing unwanted attention to their floor. Keep your door closed if you are doing anything mischievous. Academic misconduct is a much more serious matter and dealt with harshly. Offenders face expulsion, which might be difficult to explain to your parents who are paying for your education. Be smart and don’t take a chance with your future out of laziness or overconfidence. NIU goes relatively easy on its students, so repay the favor by not stepping over the line and you will live the easy life for four years. Students Speak Out

I think they obviously need to be stricter if you look at what happened with the school shooting. I don’t think they were prepared for students to be targets, and it should have been a given considering what’s going on in America today. |

Patrols seem to be up lately. I see a lot more cop cars out on Friday and Saturday nights, so at the very least they are making their presence more visual. However, I still don’t see them arresting that many people. |

If you are in the dorms, it really depends on how cool your CA is. They can either get on a power trip and screw you over, or they can look the other way and have it be a free for all. They get free tuition to do their job, so if you draw attention to them, they will react harshly. |

Enforcement on underage drinking in the dorms is an absolute joke, although many consider that a good thing. |

As long as no one gets hurt and violence isn’t involved, the powers that be tend to not get involved. Last year, there was a stabbing on Greek Row, and they came down incredibly hard, and the whole system was dry for quite a while. Otherwise, it’s one big party as long as students are safe. |
