Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus safety is a high priority for the administration at Xavier, and it shows. Campus police vehicles are on frequent patrol 24 hours a day, and everywhere on campus is well lit, so one can take a midnight stroll without being accosted (unless you’re into that sort of thing). The University has in place emergency call-boxes throughout the campus, so that if there ever was any trouble, the campus police are able to respond fairly quickly. As long as you are on Xavier University property, you feel relatively safe. While neighboring streets are not quite as pristine, there seems to be a heavily-enforced bubble that keeps those who live and work at Xavier safe.

The campus police do everything within their means to make sure that everyone on campus can live, work, study, and play in a safe environment. Unfortunately, with crime problems in the surrounding communities, especially Norwood, there is only so much the University can do. On campus is one of the safest places in the county you can be, but unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the streets outside of Xavier, where many students live in apartments and houses.

It's Pretty Safe on Campus

The surrounding area can be a bit dicey. There's a lot to do in the nearby suburbs, where it's pretty safe, too.

SAFETY a+

I have never felt unsafe, there is a large police presence - on campus and off campus. XU police patrol off campus and Norwood police patrol on campus, so the whole area surrounding the school is safe. Emergency polls if anything were to happen are all over campus, police force is large enough to protect all students staff and faculty if everyone was on campus at the same time. Good lighting, dorms have lots of security features, must swipe card to enter,etc.

I have never felt unsafe on Xavier's campus. Just use common sense and you'll be fine.

Facts

Did You Know?

Campus police sit in their cars with the lights off at night in the parking lots to keep watch. There were problems of break-ins in the past, but the police force has been extra vigilant as of late. You can read about all their busts every week in the campus newspaper, the Newswire, which has a section devoted to humorous and interesting police notes.
