How safe are the residence halls and apartments?
Housing & Residential Life, in coordination with the University Police, work to provide a safe and healthy living environment for your student • All doors leading to residence hall rooms and apartments are locked 24 hours a day. Access to these areas require a key or activated U Card issued to your student when he or she checks in at the beginning of the year. • Residential life staff provides security inside University housing. Each University housing building has a Security Monitor on duty from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. every day of the week, there are video security cameras operating in the public areas of the halls and apartments, and Community Advisors (CA) are on-call weekdays from 4:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. and 24 hours a day on weekends. • The halls and apartments also have fire alarm systems and sprinkler system, and we strive to maintain these systems with routine checks, training for the staff, and work with the UMPD and the Minneapolis Fire Department for proper emergency response trainin
