Campus Crime

I went to a high school that had a lot of crime and violence , so things do not bother me as much as they do other people. I did not really think crime would be going on in college as much because people that go to school there want to better themselves; high school is mandatory so I kind of understand. In the past couple of weeks things have been happening at school. The first I remember is someone getting their wallet stolen, which is not that bad i guess. The next thing I heard was there was a "shoot out" back behind Bond Hall. Which I do not know if that was true becuase I did not get an email about it from the school like I had for the other stuff. The last thing I heard was that Seymour's was robbed. I do not understand why kids in college would want to jepordaize their education for something stupid like that. Which on the other hand it might be someone who does not attend Southern... I do not know, but it is really getting out of hand. I know there is crime everywhere you go, but for some reason people feel safe at school. I feel that way sometimes, but in all reality it is not safer. I know I have complained about parking time and time again, but it is not safe for a girl to park far off at night and walk to her dorm. I work till midnight at least and when I would come home I would have to park so far away. It is not safe for me to walk like that late at night alone. As I recall, two girls got raped not long too long ago because they parked back behind Bond Hall late at night. That is one of the reasons I moved off campus this semester... Like I said before, crime is everywhere, but would it not be nice to know that school was a safe place.
