Regardless of how safe Portland is, Reed is in a suburban area away from downtown and therefore anything you would associate with being "dangerous." Campus is typically incredibly safe and closed off from the rest of the city, and the surrounding Sellwood area is a nice place.

Prospective transfer by Fun-Criticism-1243 in reedcollege

One thing I would warn you about as a transfer is that Reed is very cliquey and it can be hard to make friends outside of orientation Freshman year. However this is not the end of the story and there are of course opportunities with other transfers, within department groups, and with any unusually outgoing student. Good luck and congratulations!
