Sep. 8, 2014I remember touring UF my senior year of high school and hearing my mom ask the most important question of all: "How safe is campus?" We got the speech about the three-lock dorm system, the blue lights, Student Nighttime Auxiliary Patrol and all of the resources that make UF one of the safest places to call home. Now I, along with every other student, can only think about taking a self-defense class and buying pepper spray.
