Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students feel quite safe on campus, although, walking alone at night can be a little harrowing. The important thing when it comes to safety at Union, or any college for that matter, is common sense. When you’re out walking at night, try to walk in groups. If you’re alone, try to walk in well-lit areas and avoid dark alleys or streets. Usually, as long as you’re not asking for trouble, there shouldn’t be any problems. Most of the problems that inflict Union seem to come from the city rather than the college itself.

All in all, campus security does a good job in keeping the students safe. Most of the students say the amount of security guards and their presence make them feel that Union is a safe campus. However, they sometimes have the tendency to overreact to what one student calls “typical college behavior.” While security may overreact to drinking or rowdiness, Union’s campus security is quick to respond to calls, and they do their job quite well.

Pretty Safe

Union's Campus is pretty safe. Like everyone else, we have the blue light system, and Campus Safety officers and cars are visible everywhere on campus. However, although crimes are very rare, the campus is open to the rest of the city of Schenectady, so anyone can wander onto campus.

Campo is good, Health Center slow moving

Campus safety does a great job, as does the health center. Only complaint is that sometimes the health center requires you to go like 5 times before they do anything to help you other than giving you advil.

Ed Is the Best<3

Even though the school is not in the "best" area, I have never felt unsafe on campus. Campus safety, nicknamed "Campo", sometimes likes to bust the large frat parties, but are usually very agreeable. Ed is the best campo<3
