Tell me about security at ND

We have not visited yet, plan to do so next month. I do have a couple of questions about security at ND.

I was looking at a video on youtube & it looked like ND was not an enclosed campus and there was no security guard/gate at the entrance and that anyone could drive on to campus. Is this the case? My dh reminded me that in the movie Rudy, Rudy stopped at a security guard booth but I don’t know how realistic that was. Is anyone able to walk on to the campus at all hours? How do they ensure the safety of the students, particularly girls, if this is the case?

I’d also be interested in learning about dorm security, particularly in the girl’s dorms. I visited my alma mata recently and they place security guards in the dorms each evening until early a.m. The dorms are also locked and can only be accessed with a security key. Is this the case at ND? How do they maintain security in the girl’s dorms?

Thanks for any input.
