You really have to look out for yourself. Students are free to roam and do whatever, so I'm not sure if its exactly that safe (not that theres a lot crime anyway). [View Full Report]

Seems like a safe campus, but we only saw one blue light. It is the kind that requires you to put in a phone number, which is not good. [View Full Report]

They don't even lock their doors or bikes! (I'm not quite there on that. Too much of a big city girl.) [View Full Report]

They have a few issues with small-time theft, but women feel safe walking across campus alone in the wee hours of the morning. [View Full Report]

Who needs security? This is in the middle of Iowa. Out of all the campuses we have visited this is by far the safest place. If you leave your bike unlocked it might be taken for a ride & return [View Full Report]

Looked like nothing would happen there. I was more concerned about the train tracks running through campus. Do trains go through there and make kids late for class? Don't know. [View Full Report]

We were told that there is a campus escort service during the evening/nighttime. Our tour guide mentioned that, given the small town Iowa setting, students feel pretty safe on campus. [View Full Report]
