Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Safety ON Campus

As with any other university crime exists but stuff on campus isn't too bad. If anything avoid walking around the fort after 11pm. It's just not a good idea and definitely should be avoided if possible.

There are some crimes, but with the UT police department and company of friends, i have never felt unsafe. It is a safe and fun place to be.

Safety on Campus

I feel safe overall on campus. The only times I feel unsafe is walking on campus at night. I have had classes that have given exams from 7-9PM.
