This week Georgia Southern University was named one of the top 25 safest schools in the United States. Although it may seem as if we have a lot of crime, we have a low rate compared to the rest of the colleges and universities.
Last semester, my apartment was broken into over Thanksgiving break. A tv and a lap top were stolen. Although the police never caught the theif, they worked extremely hard to find them. The police were constantly calling us with updates.
Robbing someone of their belongings is a terrible thing, but I am happy to know that our school is still overall safe compared to the rest of the country. In all reality, we do not have much crime. There are always campus police and Statesboro police seem throughout the town and campus.
Because our school was voted in the top 25 safest schools, I feel like the staff and the students will work hard to keep it that way. It is a good feeling to know that you can walk home from the library late at night and not have to worry.
I heard about this a couple days ago. Quite a comforting fact that we made the top 25 list for safety. I honestly always feel safe walking around campus. Good to hear that my feelings are not misplaced! Thanks for the post!
