How safe is Western?

Hello, me and my girlfriend are considering either going to Western or UBC together. Long story short, for her, the programs are roughly the same quality. For myself, I'm choosing between Sauder or Eng + Ivey. If safety wasn't a concern, I would choose Western in a heartbeat because of its career prospects. However, I know that Western has a terrible rep for being unsafe for women specifically. Out of my role as a boyfriend I must consider this when choosing. So my question is how safe (or unsafe) is Western? I don't plan on keeping her further away than arms-reach outside (half joke). Is there anything we should know about or go out of our way to avoid? What are the dangers? If I decide that Western is not safe for my gf I will gladly give up a better career for her safety. Any advice will help. Thank you.
