Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The University of Utah is as safe a campus as you will find anywhere—period.  Even with its size, the U of U is not a place that you will find stalking predators waiting in the shadows. Of course, common sense should always be applied, but crime on campus is few and far between. The dorms’ security systems were built with Olympic athletes in mind, so they’re top-notch.

The most common crime committed at the University of Utah is theft of personal items. Students leave backpacks unattended, or employees leave their office doors unlocked, and then someone swipes their stuff. Keep an eye on your backpack at all times and lock the door behind you! This is common sense no matter where you go in life. If you're feeling worried about your safety, you can always call the campus police, and they will be more than happy to escort you to wherever you need to go.

The University of Utah does everything in its power to stop drugs and alcohol on campus, but it gets in because of the students. Safety phones ARE everywhere though, so I always feel safe.

I Feel Secure.

I have never had a problem on campus, however, I have heard of people being robbed. I'm sure this happens anywhere you go, you just need to remember to keep your car locked.

Safe So Far...

Great campus so far, I have only been here 1 semester but I always feel that there is someone around and I am never alone. If something were to happen I feel that there would always be someone to watch and help me if I needed it. Campus is os close knit, it would be strange if something happened with all the people around.
