Weak Security
When I began attending Middle Tennessee State University I joined their e-mails to receive any alerts that may come up. Last semester alone I probably received at least ten e-mails. Security doesn't even proofread their e-mails before they send them, which resulted sometimes with false information that probably embarrassed some of my fellow students. I feel relatively safe on campus, because we do have so many people on campus. I do not like and prefer not to take night classes, because parking is so terrible that you have a fifteen minute walk to your car after class, which I would not feel safe having to do. When I began attending this school I was told that there were several buttons around campus that you could push in order to receive a police escort to your car; I however hardly ever see any of these security button stations around campus.
I do want to condone our security and police for how quickly they seem to solve cases or crimes. When I receive an e-mail alert almost within the next twenty four hours I receive a follow up e-mail that they have caught the criminal, or handled the situation. Overall our security and police needs to become stronger, more available, and double in numbers.

The Pros and Cons of Greek Life
Greek life can have its perks, but it can also have its cons. Greek life presents students with a way to become more involved with the social atmosphere on campus. It also presents students with a way to be able to give back to the community. Hazing however is a big issue. Many freshman enter into the Greek life unaware of hazing. Many kids become hazed otherwise known as a lack of transparency. During the typical hell week of Greek life students may find themselves being asked to do things such as drinking, that they may not particularly want to participate in. They are then stuck between a rock and a hard place, because if they choose to walk away from the Greek life they've just lost a lot of money, and if they choose to stay they risk participating in activities that they truly don't want to do. Greek life has it's benefits when the core of the group is based around good and sound ethics. When Greek life's core is centered around partying and hazing, it becomes scary and surreal for many students.

Hurricane Tennessee?
Weather affects our campus and students a lot. It always seems so much colder in Murfreesboro versus surrounding cities such as Nashville. If there is a thunderstorm it seems to hit our campus hard. We are known at Middle Tennessee State University to be the home of a lot of tornadoes. Tornadoes usually disrupt class when we have to get up and move to our safe zones. We do have a lot of safe places to go during these tornadoes, which is good and keeps our students safe. The weather during spring and summer months is beautiful and a lot better than the fall and winter months.
