Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

USF Public Safety has an important influence on campus life. While some incidents are unavoidable and inevitable, Public Safety does its very best to give the campus and its students a safe, secure environment. Officers patrol the campus 24 hours a day. The campus shuttle and safety escorts are available to bring students to and from main campus, Loyola Village, Pedro Arrupe, and practically any other place within the vicinity of campus.

Thefts and robberies on campus and in the dorms have been met with a quick response due to the emergency poles strategically placed around campus and the fast action that results from calling the 24-hour safety line. Also, whenever anything happens on campus, the word is spread almost instantaneously through the USF Connect e-mail system. Keeping everyone aware of campus security breaches is one way Public Safety maintains safety. Another is through required ID checks at the entrances of every residence hall, although sometimes people (and their alcohol) sneak by because the checks are conducted by students. If anyone is caught drinking underage in the dorms, RAs will write a referral, but if a student is caught with drugs, Public Safety officers come immediately to handle the situation.

Safe Campus but Still in the Heart of the City

the campus is fairly safe itself, but it is still in the middle of san francisco and campus security makes a point of teaching students to be aware. crimes will happen on and around campus, you have to be careful.

Campus Safe, Big City

The USF campus itself is safe, but the campus is right in a large city. Go east or south just a little at night and you better watch yourself. As for staying on campus, you should have no worries at all.
