<p>I see that there was an armed robbery of some sorority girls in September. As well, two graduate students were murdered on campus in December 2007.</p>
<p>Are these isolated incidents that could happen anywhere or is there reason to believe that because of LSU's openness and surrounding area, there are legitimate safety concerns? </p>
<p>Do students feel safe on campus? Do safety concerns interfere with your enjoyment of LSU?</p>
<p>Would appreciate some frank feedback from current students.</p>
<p>it’s a safe campus, and there’s free campus transit from like 5:30 PM till 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM from anywhere on campus to anywhere on campus, and a slight bit off campus too (I think). </p>
<p>There will be crime on any campus. LSU is its own precinct; the BR PD has assigned a number of officers just to the LSU campus. I’ve always felt safe, but it’s probably not a good idea to walk campus alone late at night if you’re a girl.</p>
<p>My guess that it’s paid by student fees and not by the university directly.</p>
<p>I’ve never felt unsafe on campus. I definitely wouldn’t go walking too far outside of campus in some parts. But in general, right around campus is safe. </p>
<p>The two murders were an anomaly. They also occurred in the graduate student housing, which is on the outskirts of some shady neighborhoods. Since that time, they have upgraded the security systems in that housing. In addition, since that time, I think there have been numerous undercover cops placed on campus.</p>
<p>right. in a really twisted way, the murders were a good thing for campus safety. they pointed out some serious flaws, and the university and BR PD have renewed their commitment to student safety.</p>
