The area seemed very safe, as long as you keep your eyes open when crossing the street (taxi cabs are treacherous)! [View Full Report]

In order to get into any NYU building, you have to have your ID card and each NYU building has a security guard. They also have an escort service in case you don't feel safe walking at night. [View Full Report]

The tour guide made a point to say that Greenwich Village is one of the safest parts of New York. Also, he mentioned that there was a very efficient police department at the University. [View Full Report]

They have so many programs for NYU students that need to get home from their late night class so safety is a big plus. [View Full Report]

Since NYU doesn't have a traditional campus, you're out in the open when you're on the street. But there was definitely the same safe feeling you'd have in an enclosed college camp [View Full Report]

There's no campus to really keep secure, and it's not in a terrible dangerous part of NYC. [View Full Report]
