Safety at Lindenwood
I live in the women's housing at LU and lately, I have felt very unsafe. If anyone hasn't heard, a girl that lives in housing was mugged and cut in the face about a month. The man even mugged her with two of her girl friends there. After this incident, I started noticing a lot of flaws that living in girls housing comes with. First of all, if you don't live on a main street, like Droste, there are no street lights which makes it very unsafe for the girls to walk from their car to their house. Another problem is how old the doors are in the houses. The house I live in has one lock on the door, which I'm sure anyone could brake into, and has a big crack in it with a very unsteady frame. The third problem was brought up to a friend of mine by an officer the night the student got mugged. He said that girl's housing at LU is targeted for more crimes than any other neighborhood in the area. Why? Because everyone knows it is strictly girls. Criminals know that if they need an easy way to mug someone without any trouble, they will just look around at girls housing because they know they will not run into a guy there. This brings up another point which I still don't understand. Why can't we have visitation?

I feel the same way. I'm unsure as to the validity of all the statements we here on campus but seeing things first hand I am very skeptical.

I agree with you guys, what is the school going to do. I am trying to get something published in the school paper to talk about this
I totally agree...my two older sisters lived on annerick(not sure how that is spelled) last year, and security used to come by and take their porch lights out if they would leave them on.
