“If it’s unsafe to get to class or too much ice. A lot of people from this area don’t have the proper clothing.”

John Thomas,freshman, chemistry

“I’ve never experienced snow down here, but my dad told me that if we get a couple inches of snow, people freak out.”

“If the roads are frozen, or sidewalks, buses can’t run, and students have a potential for slipping and falling on ice.”

Yun-Ah Park, sophomore, public health

“Just some ice on a path-way could be dangerous if someone slips or falls.”
