Around the Mid-Michigan region, East Lansing is known for having a responsive police force. However, being a college town, I guess we're expected to, right? Speed limits and parking requirements are strictly enforced. They're perhaps almost too strict when it come to parking citations in my opinion. Also, officers are quick to respond to noise complaints but respectful to the party who cause the initial complaint. Although our police force is very responsive and necessarily strict when it comes to enforcing laws, they are also some of the most friendly and accommodating people I know in this community. The most prevalent crime on Michigan State's campus is theft. With over 40,000 preoccupied students milling around campus each day, it's hard not to create the perfect opportunity for criminals. However, at campus orientation before the school year starts, local police officers came to speak to us about theft and what we can do to avoid it.
Lansing/ East Lansing, MI is very much a college town full of young people and young families. It's a vibrant, artist community with plenty of city-wide event happening each week. East Lansing is not overwhelming as a big cities tend to be or boring like a small town or strictly suburban area, instead it's full of life and opportunities. Community-wide events are a regular occurrence and include activities for all ages to enjoys. This city gives me a sense of comfort and familiarity without being a small town with a population of under 5,000 people. Although I've lived here for just over 13 years, I'm still discovering new restaurants and fun shops around town. East Lansing is definitely a community I could see myself staying and raising my own family in. I feel like that's an important aspect a college community must have in order to truly thrive; not only should high school graduates want to come to attend the local university, but the young professionals they become should be eager to settle down and begin their adult life in that community too.
this is where i grew up so i know the area prety well. crime is a big issue here. sometimes i am scared to walk outside. Holt high school is alright, there is a lot of kids who do drugs in the bathroom.
