4) What security measures have you noticed on this campus? Do you think these measures are worthwhile?? Why or why not??
Well, in this campus, i think I only see security on the campus roads most of the times. I believe that thats good to have security on the campus roads, but i dont really see them in the campus buildings. Also having the your school ID and having a NYIT parking sticker, i think, is good for security measures too.. But that really only helps with people who are not faculty or students from NYIT. Overall I think we have OK security measures in NYIT. I believe we need a little more improvement though in security. I believe most of the measures are somewhat worthwhile, but it still looks like to me that violence can be just around the corner. We can never be fully secure in campus, but at least we can know how to prevent violence from erupting.

Your right, we never can be fully safe on campus which is very sad. On the bright side, there is a lot we can do to prevent violent acts!
I agree. we have Ok security measures at NYIT.
Sadly, can we ever be totally secure anywhere?? Kind of scary to think that. Great job of answering the assignment. Keep it up!
i agree, we can never be fully safe anywhere we go.
