California State University Northridge student Natalie Momjian says she’s lucky, she doesn’t have any finals scheduled Wednesday and plans to spend the day studying off campus. 

“I don’t think it’s a smart idea to come to campus on a day like that,” Momjian said.

Last week, someone drew a swastika on a wall and threatened a shooting on December 12 in Sierra Hall. This week, another longer, more detailed note threatened the same. Still, students go in and out of the building. While some, like Momjian, admit they’re scared.

“I mean…who’s not scared?” Momjian said.

Junior Kyle Dranudl says he doesn't feel threatened at all, he thinks the whole thing is pretty obvious.

“I think it’s just someone trying to avoid finals," Dranudl said. "You know, as soon as their first threat didn’t change the finals at all they came out with a second threat, simple as that," he said.

Professors who have exams scheduled for December 12 have been directed to come up with alternative test examination options that do not require students to be physically present on campus Wednesday. As for security, there are cameras on campus and police are out in full force. 

“There’s plenty of police presence, I think they handled it great. They’re not blowing it out of proportion but they are also doing something about it,” Dranudl said.

But Momjian still has her concerns.

“They can’t do everything right? They can’t be in every single area of the campus. So you never know what’s going to happen, where it’s going to happen,” said Momjian.

All around campus there is a sense something is going on. Students head to class, relax under trees, and stop for lunch at the Farmers Market. But there’s also a low murmur. Conversations around every corner. Students asking each other if they're planning on coming to school on Wednesday.

Momjian says it’s terrible because students shouldn’t have to be afraid to come to school. 

“This should be a safe place for everyone to come study,” said Momjian.

So whether or not the threats are real…

“One of our professors called it terrorism and I think he’s right. They’re just trying to enact terror in people," Dranudl said.
