ODU students arrested in home invasion: wavy.com
About a month ago this home invasion happen on the ODU campus. The students allegedly involved in this invasion stole from their fellow schoolmates. These students also used guns and knifes in this invasion. How would you feel if you knew your roommate had a gun or knife? For the seniors planning to go to college and the upcoming students preparing for the road to college what do you think about this video? How would you feel if you found out your roommate was a thief? How do you think the students on campus feel about their own body of students steeling from them? I was thinking about transferring to ODU after a few years at TCC but now I am starting to rethink this idea. Would you want to go to a campus where you know for sure this crime happened? Does this make you rethink your college choices now?

Depending on the mental stability of my roommate, it can be a good OR a bad thing that he or she owns a weapon. Some may of course have it there as protection, in which case you wouldn't have quite as much to worry about. On the other hand, if your roommate is slightly psychotic then I would most definitely not be interested in sharing a room with him/her. I'm not too worried about this video. I don't like the idea of attending a college full of thieves, but I am far too lazy to pick a new college. I would not want that person in my school any longer. They should be expelled.
I would be very upset. I don’t like this video. I would be mad. Yes I would and am. No it doesn’t.
I would feel a little freaked out if my roommate had those weapons. I know that it may be a good thing to keep yourself protected, but it can be bad at the same time. I would feel very cautious about my roommate being a thief. The students must feel paranoid about the situation. It would probably make me rethink about college.
I would be upset to know that my roommate had a gun or knife. I would be very cautious of where I leave my things if I found out that my roommate was a thief. I think the students are probably angry, especially the ones that got their property stolen. I would not want to go to a campus where you know for sure that crime happens. It does make me rethink my college choices.

I don't feel comfortable with the thought of anyone having a knife or gun. I don't like violence at all! I am not a violent person, unless it involves protecting my family. I'm sure the students of ODU are re-thinking about their ODU friends. If I were to go to ODU, this video has definitely changed my mind.

I would not feel safe if I knew that my roommate had a weapon. This video scares me because it is a crime that occurred locally. I would report my roommates to the authorities if I knew that they were stealing. I know that the ODU students are fed up with crazy people stealing from them. All these criminals should be jailed. I had considered attending ODU also, until I watched this video. This video definitely makes me rethink my college choices.
I would be a little uncomfortable if my roommate had a gun or knife with them. I just can’t believe they would do that. I would want to change roommates if mine was a thief. I would not want to worry about them stealing any of my things. I would imagine that the rest of the campus is upset with their fellow students. I never wanted to go to ODU in the first place, but I would definitely not want to go after hearing about this.
I would be uncomfortable if my roommate had a gun or knife because they might use it, not realizing the consequences. I wouldn't to know what to do if my stuff was stolen at gun point or threatened my life. Roommates are always sketch at first anyway, I would probably try to switch. The students probably take more precaution like lock their doors at night or when they leave. I imagine something gets stolen at every school, just on a minor scale. I wouldn't switch a school I wanted to go to because this could happen anywhere. That would be like judging a whole school for this incident in which the people who did it aren't even there anymore.
It is a shame that people are invading people’s homes and taking their stuff. It seems to me that robbers would have some kind of guilty feeling for doing what they do. People get up and go to work everyday to make their living. Why is it so hard for the robbers to do the same thing? One of the reasons that I am going to room with someone I known for a long time is because I have built a trust with her. I feel that if I go to school and room with her I will not have to worry about things like this. It does rather make me think going to a place where I know a crime as such has happened, but I feel that things like this can happen anywhere.
