Security at Denison Is Top-Notch but Not Over-Bearing

The security at Denison is excellent. Denison's campus has a history of being incredibly safe and crime-free. The security guards really only bust parties after 1 am or so for noise violations or whatever. They probably annoy students the most for their notorious parking tickets, which can really add up after a while, but besides that, they really know when to step in and when to realize they have to choose their battles. I think one of the best things about the security at denison are the "blue lights" which are emergency posts. I don't know anyone that has used one, but just seeing them in the middle of the night coming back from the library is a comfort. Denison also has a lot of programs, such a safe ride, to make sure students feel safe and secure at all times on campus. Denison even puts a time limit on entering residential buildings after a certain hour (as in you cannot enter a residential building other than your own after midnight or so). Overall,it really doesn't get any safer than Denison.

Historic but up-To-Date

Denison's building are beautiful and historic, but they have renovated them nicely on the inside to boast top of the line modern necessities. Slayter, the student union, is a fun hang out in between classes or for dinner or studying. It's not the prettiest building on campus, but there's always people in it, so you always end up running into someone there. Part of the athletic center is under construction for a new pool (for our Sate Champions Swim TEAM!), but it is still open and all of the facilities on the athletic center are still running. Lots of squash/racquetball courts, as well as two different work out rooms, packed with great machines, and there is usually at least one machine per room open. The library is great, and if students aren't studying in empty classrooms on campus, then they're in the library. More times than not you will end up seeing someone you know on the second floor of the library, which is kind of fun. Both Macs and PCs are available to students in the library and most, if not all, floors.

Not All That Strict.

I guess if you have gotten written up before, your point of view is different, but as someone who has never had that happen to them, I would say Denison's security isn't all that strict. In reality, they let us get away with a lot. Most weekend nights you'll see a security guard just walking around on the quad as drunk underaged student stumble past. They don't really do much until a party gets out of hand or once it becomes too late.

Lot's of Hook-Ups

Denison has an attractive student body, generally speaking. Even if natural born looks are prevalent, good fashion sense and confidence can make most people at Denison look attractive. Denison's students generally wear designer clothes, which ends up looking like a uniform. For girls, it mostly comprises of: Hunter boots, leggings/skinny jeans, Patagonia or Barbour jacket, and a Longchamp Le Pilage tote. For the guys: fratstar. Backwards caps, preppy shirts or lax shirts, chino shorts and sperrys. For those who cannot afford the Denison look, it can be annoying, but it's not the end of the world. Denison mostly has hook-ups, but not so many relationships. Most real relationships happen Junior and Senior years. However, relationships do happen for Freshmen and Sophomores, just not as commonly.
