Lately Brevard College was named one of the safest colleges in America, but the real question is are we really safe at Brevard College? For a school that has a tuition of $38,000 and at least 800 students and the campus size of 120 acres of land, there is only a couple campus security guards strolling around this campus and strolling an off campus resident. Two years ago, there was a problem with some females getting stalked and almost assaulted on campus. Until this day, we have yet to find the suspects
have guns on school campus? The states are still in control of their own gun laws and recently Georgia has decided to pass the House Bill 280, also known as the “campus carry” law, which went in effect July 1st. This law allows students, who are over 21, to carry their concealed weapon to any public college campus. Whether this was the right choice is still up to debate. Many students from many different emotions regarding the new law. Some worry it will only cause more mass school shootings and
every citizen (Birnbaum, 2013). While guns have a strong presence here, there have been an increasing number of violent tragedies in which the assailant used firearms. On April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus (Lipka 2008; No Guns Left Behind, 2007). The question quickly became ‘how do we stop guns from coming on to post-secondary campuses?’ to prevent such tragedies. The gun debate has been around for decades, but only after the Virginia Tech Massacre
has had 20% or less than a population with obesity. This is seen in students and adults , or people in general. Schools are supposedly the healthiest and safest place for kids to be in, but not unless they serve processed foods and especially sell junk food. To encourage or be able to change a high school student’s eating habits may seem difficult but there are a few keys to do so. The problem of obesity may lie in the school lunch
on college campuses in the past recent years, many have argued that both students and teachers should be allowed to carry a concealed handgun on campus to defend themselves. They believe it will help stop shootings and make campuses safer, but will it? These people who are suggesting this are only thinking about their own safety and not thinking about the consequences that will flourish due to guns on campus. Guns on campus would not only lead to an escalation in violent crimes, but will lead to
college experience, where a student starts becoming independent and gets ready for the real world. However living in dorms isn't always the best option, so universities should allow students to choose whether they want to commute to school or live in dorms. There are several reasons as to why Universities should allow students to choose whether they want to commute to school or live in dorms. One of the reasons is because of the student’s health. For example a student who may be suffering from leg
be allowed on campus, which in my opinion is not a good thing. College students should not be allowed to carry handguns on a university campus because it is not safe. College students like myself stress out and sometimes do not think clearly which, is also a leading cause of irrational thinking or behaviour. Texas has had one school shooting within this past year and two within the last four years. Guns should not be permitted on college campuses due the fact that college students are the most stressed
arms, and the government has control over all public space, a college student has the right to carry a concealed weapon with a license in Texas. However, the threat of shooters to become anyone with a gun and the risk of students going berserk make the Campus Carry law seem useless and meaningless. Therefore, the Texas state Government should rethink and abolish a law that has too many risks and not so much of a reward. The Campus Carry law makes public universities allow CHL holders carry a handgun
going on since the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012. Three years ago twenty, first-graders between the ages of six and seven were killed along with four teachers the principal and the school psychologist. The shooter age twenty is responsible for this massacre. This has every school in America asking the question, should we put guns on our campuses? No, you shouldn 't though it sounds like a great idea now you must think about the future impact in would have on the student population. College campuses
Chaos on Campus A college student life can be described as ultimately crazy. Why you may ask? Well, to start off with, their reckless and immature. They don’t think straight especially when their under a lot of pressure by friends, teachers, society, and even themselves. If it wasn’t crazy enough for them, imagine if the law allowed students to carry around a gun while going to college, things would go to crazy to a disaster in a matter of minutes. Everyone attending college, such as students, teachers
