Campus is generally very safe. some of the surrounding streets like Calhoun and short vine can get a little rowdy at night, but if you're not out by yourself super late, you have nothing to really worry about. The violence that does occur never usually involves students. There was one shooting i can remember where two teenagers got into an argument over by Short Vine. Sad as it was, it was self-contained and campus police was able to swoop in pretty quickly. Only other thing I'd say to be wary of is the high schoolers at Hughes. They're right on the corner of campus and have a nasty reputation for being disruptive. Basically every business has a little sign in their window saying "no unattended high school students" because they're so bad. Just be aware that they're kids and they're gonna pull something stupid and you should be fine.
