Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Public Safety responds to any calls from students on campus. They have placed blue-light call boxes all over campus in case of an emergency. Beyond this, the campus and the town are relatively safe anyway. There are always going to be a few fights, a few alcohol poisonings, and other minor problems, but not anything that would stop a person from going to Stetson. Stetson University is so safe that even John Walsh of America’s Most Wanted let his kid go here. But all of this doesn’t mean that students should let their guards down, it just means that it’s safer than most universities. A good sign is how many students can be found walking around campus at night without any problems. On the other side of the safety issue is the University’s Health Services. It has a full staff of nurses, and one rather infrequently available doctor who takes appointments first and walk-ins second. There is no personnel on campus during the weekends or holidays. It is best to have a second local choice, just in case. An upside is that all students are covered by insurance provided by the University. Health Services also provides pamphlets on all sorts of health questions ranging from the physical to the mental.

Just Petty Crimes

I have always felt safe on campus. I am comfortable walking alone in the dark. Public Safety is always just a phone call away if you need them - providing that you are on campus. There have been petty crimes such as bicycle theft but that's really it.

Did You Know? Be careful carrying any type of firecrackers on campus because expulsion plus jail time could ultimately be the consequence of carrying an explosive.
