Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Safety and security at San Diego State is strong. You will notice this by walking around campus and seeing the safety patrol vehicles driving through at all hours of the day. Safety at San Diego State is a non-issue for most people. With abundant blue-light emergency stations located throughout campus and a 24-hour escort service, students feel they are being adequately protected by campus security. Every once in a while, you will hear about an incident that occurred in one of the parking structures late at night, but these happenings are infrequent, and almost always end with the victim getting away safely. Most people go throughout their entire career at San Diego State without ever experiencing an incident that would have them questioning their safety. The school goes to great lengths to ensure that students are being watched out for, and every year security is getting stronger, and students are being more closely looked out for.

Overall, security on campus is great, and almost all students feel safe around San Diego State. Most incidents tend to take place in fraternity houses and house parties, where there is little security and regulation. If the school were to hire more security guards to watch over the parking structures 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the parking structures would be solid, and these incidents that are sometimes written about in the Daily Aztec would never occur. Besides these issues, students should feel undoubtedly safe when walking around campus. Safety and Security is definitely strong, but it could be even stronger if some minor alterations were made to security procedures.

Safety of School

Living on campus i feel very safe even when walking from the library to the dorms. The emergency polls are well spread out around the campus and easily visible.Although there might be a couple of things that happen. Every one is well informed of what happens around campus.

There has only been about three campus crimes all done in the evening except one, which has me concern. Even though those crimes occurred I still feel safe. Another safety concern is that there are many cops on duty through-out the day and in the evening there are police buttons you can push to let them know you are in trouble.

I have never had problems with the safety. There are always police on campus and I have never felt like I was in danger while on campus. There is also a police escort service to avoid having late night walks to your destination safe. However, every so often there is a crime report post about sexual harassment or theft that occurs on or around campus. There was only a rare violent case where somebody got stabbed. I think it's a normal college area environment, and seems fairly safe. It is just very recommended to always walk in groups especially if you are a women, and it is late at night. Also women should carry pepper spray around since they are very prone to sexual harassment.
