Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With a closed campus, fully-trained police officers, on-site ambulance service, blue-light emergency phones, and Safe Ride vans making the rounds at night, most students would feel safe anywhere on campus, and at any time. Students acknowledge that dorm safety is in their hands and that it can be relatively easy to get into the dormitories if one waits by the door. However, an intruder would have to gain access to the closed campus before even approaching the dormitories. Overall, major incidents are rare, and should something go wrong, the school is more than prepared.

Some students may complain about an overly-protective security system on campus, but few would argue for the alternative. It just shows that students trust each other to act respectably and responsibly, making it easy to take an effective system for granted.

I haven't had to deal with the health aspect of school yet, luckily. However, with safety, I generally feel very safe on campus--especially walking back to the dorms after leaving the library at 3am

So Safe!

Binghamton has its own UPD (university police department) and its super safe to walk around and stuff. The security is super tight, and I never feel like its dangerous. There is some drug busts occasionally, but that depends on the living community youre in.

Campus Safety at SUNY Binghamton

The campus is a pretty safe place near the main communities and central part of campus. There are emergency telephones indicated by bright blue lights that are always within eyesight in case someone is feeling endangered or need to contact campus police. Small crimes occur throughout the dorms if people don't guard their belongings and drunken fights may break out at nights.
