University Police Has Got My Back
Since we are an open campus, Clark University has taken several giants steps in trying to improve campus safety. Such improvements include the emergency "red buttons" located in various places around campus that, if pushed, will alert campus police and they will arrive at the location within two to three minutes. Also, we have an Escort system that will either drive or walk students to their destination within a two mile radius outside of campus. I myself have frequently used the Escort system and find it to be very effective. In addition, whenever there is an unfortunate scare or episode that happens on or around Clark campus, an e-mail is sent to all the students with details of the event as well as suggestions to keep safe. Overall, I feel safe at Clark. Crimes can happen anywhere, especially on an open campus, but since University Police patrols the campus 24/7, it makes me feel a lot safer knowing that help is not that far away.

Where Is the Diversity?
Although Clark always emphasizes their "diverse background of students" the diversity the University is referring to is not race. There is a large population of International students that attend Clark, however international students of color are not the same as domestic students. The ALANA (African descent, Latino /a, Asian, and Native American) population is very small, I believe under 8% which is shameful for a University located in an urban area. There are amazing people at Clark, the majority of who are warm and friendly people, but the University lacks domestic diversity, and that is why I would grade Clark with a D.
