Dorm break-ins and on-campus crimes are unfortunately a common occurrence at Michigan State University, although the numbers show that MSU is taking steps in the right direction.
Crime rates in the dorms have dropped every single year for the past three years.
A major reason for the decrease in crime has been because of efforts by MSU to increase security in the dorms.
With most halls on campus, you need your MSU ID and must live in the hall to access certain floors at certain times. Many students at MSU have taken liking to this.
Meredith Hauser, a sophomore studying Kinesiology, likes the security and feels safe.
“Yes, I love the security because it makes me feel a lot safer,” said Hauser. Hauser lived in Rather Hall last year, which did not require an ID to enter. “I like that no one can just walk in and do whatever they want.” Hauser also said that she feels the school is taking steps in the right direction to keep the students safer.
Even though most students approve of the security, some students, like Tyler Nunnold don’t necessary like it.
“I don’t like having to bring my ID everywhere,” said Nunnold. “Its also annoying having to let friends in during the middle of the day too." Nunnold also mentioned that he understands the change and knows that the university is just trying to keep him safe.
