Bennington reports round-the-clock patrols by trained security personnel, emergency telephone or alarm devices, electronically controlled residence entrances, and a late-night transport or escort service. These are resources and procedures, not a measure of an individual student's risk.
Students should learn how to request an escort, contact campus safety in an emergency, and receive campus alerts. They should also review the college's current annual security report for federally reported crime and fire-safety information and its procedures for reporting sexual misconduct and obtaining support. Reported incidents reflect particular categories, locations, and periods; they do not capture every experience or provide a complete verdict on campus safety.
