dorms were on the opposite side of the campus as the mens dorms and frat houses. In addition, the lighting on campus was inadequate when I was a student so there were several areas where an assault could occur. The campus is brightly lit now, but I think that most of the women have someone accompany them at night.

I only heard about one story about a girl getting raped on the pool table at one of the frat houses, but I don't know whether the story was actually true.
