Campus Reminder: Staying Safe
Oberlin is an idyllic and safe city full of history and architecture. Please get to know your town and the many fun things to do and see.
As you get settled into campus and begin to explore the town, your safety is our top priority. We want to remind you to always be mindful of your surroundings. Some of our campus buildings have general access, which means the public can enter, so it's important to be aware of who and what is around you. In buildings with limited access, such as residence halls, please be sure to only allow yourself access and not allow others to “tailgate” into the building
See Something, Say Something
If you ever see something suspicious or are involved in an incident, please report it right away. Don't hesitate or overthink it—if you're even considering contacting someone, just do it.
