Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

At Ole Miss, there’s very little to worry about in terms of safety. It seems that anyone can walk around campus or to their car at night and not worry about whether they are going to be abducted, mugged, or injured. Even though walking around alone at night, no matter where you are, is not the brightest idea, there are always times when you have no other option. It’s during those times that being in a small town like Oxford is very comforting.

Even though Oxford is very safe, the University still takes extra precautions to ensure students’ safety. The University Police Department, or UPD, has a program called Rebel Patrol that will come and pick up students anywhere on campus after dark and take them back to their residence halls. There is also a 24-hour patrol that watches out for any suspicious behavior. Combined with Oxford’s small-town, community atmosphere, students feel very safe at and around Ole Miss. It’s wonderful to have all these services at your disposal, but the best idea is to go out with a group and stay with them. There’s safety in numbers, especially for women. If you know that you and others in your group of friends are going to be drinking, make sure to designate a driver. There’s no sense in making a fun situation dangerous to you and others in the community.

Campus Safety

I have always felt safe on campus. Campus Police are constantly wondering around campus and driving around campus. We have emergency phones in certain locations on campus in case of an emergency. I have never really felt threatened or scared being on campus at any time. I however, never wander around campus at night alone more for my own peace of mind than anything else.
