Since assignments went out yesterday, we have had a few students and parents share concerns about on-campus safety.  The University takes a strong position in providing security measures on all parts of campus, but we also place some responsibility for personal safety on the individual student.  The Division of Student Affairs website has extensive information about the safety measures we take and tips for personal safety.   We recommend you review this information prior to your arrival on-campus.

While we understand the concerns that have been shared, we want to emphasize that no building is more or less safe than another.  We take the safety of all of our residents very seriously, and we don’t assign students to a space that we don’t consider to be safe.  If you have specific concerns about safety, we recommend contacting Duke Police.  Members of our team are also happy to speak with concerned students and parents.
