Safety
At the University of Minnesota, safety is a top priority in our campus housing. We employ a comprehensive and layered approach, including locked entrances, turnstile access points, surveillance cameras, and courtesy phones for easy communication. Our buildings are equipped with bathroom locks, emergency exit doors, and dedicated staff for support. In addition, students and guests are encouraged to use campus-wide safety services like 624-WALK, Gopher Chauffeur, and the Rave Guardian app. Everyone plays a role in maintaining a safe environment.

We encourage you to take a moment to review these policies carefully, as they are designed to provide clarity and support throughout the stay.
