Campus Safety

I was looking forward to hear about campus safety from this "Brotha Man" guy that I've heard is really funny, so I was a little disappointed when I walked in and saw we had a different speaker. Though it wasn't as exciting as I had expected, I still feel like I learned some things I didn't know before. I didn't know about all of the night shuttles and vans. Also, I learned that you could get a cop to watch you walk at night to make you feel more safe at night. Both of these could be useful to me because I've had to walk back to my dorm alone when it's dark and have been a little scared when I can't see what's around me well. I'm glad I already lock my dorm room at night because it would be easy for someone from outside to slip in through the stairs without anyone noticing. I'm also glad you have to swipe your card to get into the building at night, because one time I came back from a football game and this sketchy guy followed me and my friend in through the first door. Me and my friend were both hesitant to swipe our cards with him there. After he tried to open the second door and realized it was locked, he asked us if he could by drugs there. When we answered him "no" he finally left. Me and my friend thought he was an idiot to think you could by drugs at an on-campus dorm! If we had swiped in and opened the door, he could have easily walked in behind us and done who knows what. From the presentation, I also learned about the train track laws, and that if you stant too close to a train, it can suck you in. Overall, even though it wasn't as exciting as I expected, the presentation was very informative and I learned a lot.
