Questions about Campus Safety

Visited NU on Sunday, enjoyed the campus very much, but i was surprised at the lack of “blue light” security kiosks (or whatever they’re called). Other urban schools touted their blue lights always being visible from one to the next (ie you can’t ever be on campus without seeing a blue light, press the button and you have help within 3 minutes, etc). I had to struggle to find any of the blue lights, looked like there were some attached to buildings but not free-standing. The kids we talked to said there’s always police riding around on bikes, but that doesn’t comfort me as the mother of a girl.

Also, the IV housing having to walk through the bus/train terminal…just kinda didn’t love that. Bus stations are just seedy. LOL and I lived in Chicago for many many years!

Any thoughts from students? Parents? Appreciate it.
