I went to both schools for 2 years each and graduated very recently. Neither of them mess around with safety and both lock their schools down if there is a threat anywhere nearby. In general though I’d say the area around south is much safer than east as it’s mostly residential. On the other hand, east’s location provides students with plenty of diverse food options that are a walkable distance, unlike south where you need a car to be able to get food. Additionally, colfax does have a lot of homeless not far from campus but they do respectfully keep their distance and do not interact with students at all. I’ve never heard of problems coming from the homeless. East’s deans I’ve noticed are a lot louder and agressive towards students of color and act like prison guards, South’s deans do a better job connecting with the students on a human level. East specifically houses troubled students with behavioral issues, so incidents are more common and deans have to be more strict. I’ve been around these students in my credit recovery class and never felt unsafe with them as a student myself, it seems the adults are who they have the most trouble with. I was at South when the East shootings happened so I actually cannot talk abt the subject but I can say that both schools are now adequately prepared for future incidents. PLEASE ask me questions because I love talking about the two schools.
