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.

Good but Could Be Beter

Party are gonna happen. It's college. What the cops don't understand is that drinking will happen. Instead of busting kids for walking home drunk, they should get drunk drivers and watch for girls getting raped.

Comfortably at Home

My experience at SDSU has been nothing short of extraordinary. Personally the campus makes me feel right at home. The campus is very feels very comfortable and safe. The security is on top of everything; when an altercation between students occur, security is there in seconds. The only thing you really have to worry about is thieves, so just keep your belongings close to you or locked.
