Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Over the past two years, there have been three incidents where students were killed on campus. They were unfortunate occurrences, two of which were committed by non-UConn students. Campus has done a lot to improve safety by limiting nonaffiliated individuals from coming to UConn, especially during the biggest party weekend of the year, Spring Weekend. Overall, these events have not changed students' perceptions of safety on campus.

During the day, campus is very safe. At night, take precautions. When people are intoxicated, you don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s important to avoid dangerous situations and never walk alone at night. Escort and Safe Ride services are available, and shuttle buses run until midnight. There are emergency blue-light stations all over campus, so if students ever find they’re in trouble, with a push of a button, help will be on its way.

Pretty Safe

There have been few rare instances where I have felt unsafe at UConn. There are many resources to keep students safe; Blue emergency lights, Guard Dogs and Husky Watch nighttime escort services, and I guess the police, however, I see them writing parking tickets more than anything. I guess that's a testament to how little crime there is to worry about in the middle of Storrs, CT.

Very Safe

UConn's campus feels very secure. There are "blue lights" always within sight wherever you are on campus so if something ever does happen that emergency button is always there. The campus police are constantly on patrol around campus and the department is very accessible. For such a big school I've never worried about my safety. Walking from the library to my dorm in the middle of the night, I'm never worried about something happening to me. The campus is beautiful and such a great atmosphere.

Pretty Safe

I have never really felt unsafe at UCONN. The blue light system helps to make you feel safe because they are everywhere. Unfortunately UCONN is a big school, so the safety is a bit harder to keep under control, but I think they do a good job.
