With the alarmist anecdotes of our cover story, we set out to see just how safe students feel on campus and in the surrounding areas. A whopping majority of the students surveyed at Norris felt safe “on campus but not off,” and cited individual factors such as point of origin and destination in whether or not they feel comfortable. “Not on Ridge!” one respondent exclaimed, but others seemed nonchalant about the safety conditions at Northwestern. Of course, a lot of students live in dorms-we bet they’ll think differently as upperclassmen when they’re navigating a lonely Gaffield block at 2 a.m.
