Sarah Lawrence College
- Health & Safety

So Safe

We have shuttles around campus and to the nearest train station at night. Security is just a phone call to the main desk. People are comfortable leaving their doors unlocked. With drinking and other drugs security is very lax, as long as you're discrete it will be okay. But if someone needs to go to the hospital then security is very quick to respond

The Safest Place

Campus security is around enough to maintain a consistent presence but not be overbearing, and everyone at health services is incredibly kind and helpful. Sure, the College may lack some resources in its health service department, but that never holds a student back from getting the aid they need. They are extremely thorough and caring here, and you feel comfortable going up to health services or a security guard at anytime. And while the Yonkers side of campus has had some events that have made students question their public safety, it is important to note that the majority of campus is enclosed and bordering Bronxville (probably one of the safest towns ever) - and that, if anything, a walk around Yonkers (with a buddy, in a group) gives students a reality check on street smarts.

The Safest

SLC has a small, dedicated group of security personnel who mostly drive shuttles taking kids home at night and maker sure everything is okay - not to bust parties with booze. We have the blue light system but nobody has ever had to use it, to my knowledge, since we've been here. I feel very safe on campus, there is no campus violence and very little campus crime of other flavors. Things can get dicey in Yonkers but I've never had a problem.
