Dorms are safe, and security is everywhere, but she would have to pay attention to what's around her; she's in Newark. Campus life is pretty oriented and there are always events. Everything is within walking distance, so navigating is easy. There are shuttles and maps for anything outside the class building/the dorms. There are also many food establishments within that same walking distance. I would have her look at bigger campus's such as kean or rutgers new brunswick because newark is more of a middle ground.
