However, for some students, televisions, radios, telephones and the general level of activity in the residence halls are often too distracting. The Vernon and Doris Bishop Library provides study space for approximately 250 students at tables, individual study carrels, or in group study rooms. Additionally, many of the academic buildings are open in the evenings to provide students with other study options. This amounts to roughly six hours per week per course per week. Students should allow even more time for difficult or more complex classes.
Some officers have a law enforcement background.
They do not carry firearms. They do carry radios capable of inter-connecting with the telephone system, pepper spray, flashlights, and handcuffs. These officers have the same police authority and arresting powers on the college campus as any police officer has in his or her municipality. The Office of Public Safety cooperates with federal, state, county, and local police authorities. Officers meet on a routine basis with the Annville Township Police Department to discuss campus incidents and share information.
