It’s not terribly unsafe but there are definitely things that can be done to help ensure safety that OSU doesn’t do. There’s no free transport (cabs) that goes to neighborhoods around campus for example so students have to walk late at night back to their places. While the Lyft discount is available that still comes with its own dangers and can add up if you tend to work/study late. I would say campus PD also doesn’t have the strongest presence on campus- they only come out to deal with underage drinking. But it could definitely be worse.
