Saw a blue box that the tour guide stopped at briefly and discussed. Says a 2-minute response time can be counted on, and common sense should always be your guideline. [View Full Report]

The area where the campus is located seemed pretty safe, plus there were a few blue light emergency stands around the campus. The tour guide said the campus had their own police. [View Full Report]

You're in the city, but I feel like they do a good job with the security. I definitely felt safe at all times. [View Full Report]

Blue phones all around, had to swipe a card or go through security to enter the buildings [View Full Report]

I was very impressed with security on campus. Blue lights with a guaranteed 90 second response from police, IDs required to enter buildings. Perfect for city safety. [View Full Report]

Once again, BU is an urban campus, so good "street smarts" are important. We saw plenty of "blue light" stands around campus during our tour. [View Full Report]

We did not hear much about security. Perhaps on the regular tour we would have received more information. [View Full Report]

It was pretty urban, so that means something. All buildings have card-swipe stations for more protection, which was nice. The neighborhood was nice too. [View Full Report]

Put a big emphasis on safety; own police department, never seemed to be a concern. [View Full Report]
