Well, in my personal experiance, not to speak to crime stats I have been directly involved in a number of incidents, like I said, one shots fired that I was witness to, a second a few days later relayed to me by a security officer, an assault on a couple, two of my friends and hallmates by three students armed with bricks. The guy took a brick to the chest and face and she was hit in the face. There was a rather nasty assault involving a student with a knife and a major assault without the weapon in the same incident. I had a 400 lb drunk wrap his hands around my throat whom I had to fight off. I have at least two friends who were for all intents and purposes raped…blackout drunk taken back to the guys room…I could go on…throw in a few violent domestic disputes and the administrations active discouragement of students and student responders calling 911 directly and you have a possibly dangerous situation…

Now what I think is important is to note that regardless of what a campus administration does some of these incidents will occur; it is the lack of a response, the apathy and intentional burying of these incidents that bothers me. In 2005 the school sent a letter to the Collegeville Police Department telling them to stay off of campus property unless they are called specifically. Take it how you will, I’m just tell you my experiance, no less no more.

The campus doesn’t hire student security btw. You will find me praising the faculty and academic programs just as much as you will find me outing the security disaster on here, I could lie but what good would that do? If you don’t want the truth don’t come here looking for people’s experiances.
