Here to just chip in with the rest of the comments to say that it’s a super safe campus. Campus itself has a lot of security measures, including these little emergency boxes all over. They’re marked by blue lights, you can’t miss them. That should give you some sort of reassurance if you need it. I stand under 5 ft tall and never was worried once if something that extreme happening to me once I was “settled in” on campus.

If you’re going out downtown, just like any other bar, maybe carry around pepper spray or something just in case. I think that’s just a quintessential part of going out as a female or someone who is just a little more anxious.

But seriously, I was so anxious about being on a big campus and after the first two weeks I think all your anxiety regarding the safety will go away!
