Chapel Hill: a University Town and a Unviersity Environment
Chapel Hill is a town that lives in tandem with its academic community; as a result, a good portion of the town's population is bound by the University Honor Code and subject to the Honor Court's ruling. The campus is also a very safe environment overall because the community is supportive and works to keep ITSELF safe. The universtiy supports a program called Safe Walk that ensures students have escorts home after midnight every weeknight, and the Alert System sends out information about weather and crime to students through email and text. That being said, every town has its problems; There have been thefts, muggings, rapes, and even murders. These events, however, are not commonplace. A few incidents happen in any given year, and murders are especially rare.
