It's Safe, but People Need to Grow up

Last year, there were some incidents in the library where laptops were stolen, but I feel that you run that risk when you leave your belongings unattended (although that is not to say I don't do it as well). Public Safety and/or Community Living go around to each dorm room and leave a flyer on the whiteboard reminding you to not leave your room unlocked. The T (Welsh Hall) is a big spot for vandalism; last year, the gate between The T and Stimson was broken, someone vomited in the common room, another group of students pulled the fire alarms and set off the fire extinguishers in the hallway, and one of the windows in the stairwell was shattered with a gun of some kind. A few similar incidents have happened with the library windows, including one shattered window there over the summer. Two years ago, there was some vandalism to a hut built for a Jewish holiday. However, while walking at night around campus alone, I have never felt unsafe. People usually tend to stay out of your way.

So. Much. Rain.

Our classes aren't really far from the dorms, but if you come here, you need to invest in rain boots or some other kind of waterproof shoes. We tend to get a lot of rain here and the walkways collect puddles. Walking to class with wet shoes is never fun.
