I mean, I lived in Providence, so I know the East Side is really, really safe, but you need to remember it still is a City, so crime is everywhere, just be vigilant and you'll be fine though. [View Full Report]

They mentioned numerous safety features during the tour which I don't really remember, but they definitely have safety covered. [View Full Report]

student-run nighttime security system where a student is on-call to pick other students up from libraries, etc. and walk/drive them home at late hours. Otherwise security was normal. [View Full Report]

Many dorm buildings require keys to enter and there are several blue lights. One tour guide earlier even pressed the button to see how fast they came (below 90 seconds!). [View Full Report]

Good I suppose...I'm honestly not too familiar but the campus did seem safe. [View Full Report]

The blue light and safe ride systems made the campus seem very safe. Tour guide couldn't recall any major security breaches during his time. [View Full Report]

They had the usual blue lights and available escorts. Due to Brown's location within a large city, it's probably not as safe as one at a more rural location. [View Full Report]

Even though the campus is in the middle of a city, we felt very safe there. Our tourguide pointed out some of the numerous "call boxes" around campus. [View Full Report]

Felt very safe in Providence, and on campus. Security poles with buttons all around. [View Full Report]

the "sketchy guys" can certainly be seen if you walk just a block from campus, but overall they do a decent job with security [View Full Report]

Like any campus, you have to be careful of the guys that whistle at you or follow you in their car. But the campus itself has a good security system, so I felt safe being there. [View Full Report]

It's pretty removed from the city, but there are precautions nonetheless. Seemed perfectly fine. [View Full Report]

Many blue lights, cops; however, I have heard that there has been some aggression between students/cops over forced entry. Not sure if this is security threat, but I felt safe enough. [View Full Report]

There are blue light emergency phones positioned throughout campus and I occasionally saw security guards. I never felt unsafe on the campus. [View Full Report]

They have the blue light poles lol. The tour guide mentioned being able to call campus escorts. Other than that, and ignoring the fact that a large group of prospies all got horded to a frat house unknowingly, I don't know much about it. [View Full Report]
