Viewpoints

Student safety is always a concern on college campuses across the country and it is particularly on the minds of UA students.

With recent reports of an alleged rape and assault of a University of Arizona student and a current investigation by university police of sexual assault, the issue of safety has come to the forefront of students' minds.

Q: How safe do you feel on campus at night and on the weekends?

"I feel very safe. I don't sense any great danger no matter what time of day. That's also because I am a guy I think."

Jason Kaywood

religious studies junior

"I feel really safe, too. I do run around here late at night."

Cynthia Picha

photography senior

"I wouldn't go out walking by myself after like 9 p.m. I feel safer on my bike than walking after dark."

Patricia Healey

political science sophomore

"Usually at night I feel fairly safe around the Mall area. Once I am outside the Mall area I don't feel comfortable at all and I will only drive or call 621-SAFE."
