College Prowler Take
Most students’ opinions on safety and security boil down to one thing—using your common sense. Even with all of the services the UTPD offers, none are a replacement for using your head. The UTPD take their jobs very seriously and are always looking out for students’ safety. For a school of UT’s size, they are very successful, and the majority of students don’t walk around with spray-mace key rings tightly in hand. All of the services mentioned here are at your disposal
and are sure to make you feel safer. Make sure you know the numbers to call if need be, and if you don’t already have one, a cell phone may be a good investment (sorry, mom and dad). By programming them into your cell phone on your day of arrival, you may dodge a few uncomfortable moments. Students Speak Out

There are always cops out patrolling and UT has its own police department, which is nice. The only problems occur when people are stupid and walk alone late at night, or something like that. Even then, there aren’t many incidents, and I feel very safe. |

There have been a few bad incidents over the last few years that got a lot of local media coverage, but many of them occurred in places most students never go. In general, the UTPD does an excellent job and will make you feel safe. |

Security is pretty tight in the dorms. Your student ID card, which is coded and has your picture on it, gets you into your dorm and accesses your meal plan on campus. |

Cops can be pretty strict at times. They will pull you over for even the smallest traffic violation. Watch out for one-way streets! Be warned, though, they check your speed on Volunteer Boulevard with radar. Don’t speed on campus! |
