I saw cops. I would be walking around and then tada! - a random police man and/or woman. I felt secluded in the Duke area and safe too. |

Yellow pole things spread throughout campus. The areas immediately off both campuses, though, were kind of shady and not too great. I would have a mild safety concern alone at night. Not too bad. |

Blue emergency lights, shuttle buses, emergency lockdown plan. |

Have concerns about the area between East and West campuses -- would not want my child walking it alone at any time of day and never at night even with a large group. |

From my stand point, the safety of the campus was fine. I have heard conflicting beliefs, however. Durham really isn't that great of a town, but it is not as bad as everyone says it is. |

Of all the campuses we visited this was the only one that DIDN'T mention safety AT ALL! No mention of blue lights, police, etc. Strange in light of the recent murder of a Duke grad student! |

Duke is in a nice, small town without much crime, but just in case has many machines outside that can easily alert the police. |

Call boxes everywhere if you are in trouble. |

Felt extremely safe - most of the Duke campus is separated from Durham (which seemed pretty benign) and surrounded by forest. Safety poles arround campus allowed for quick response just in case. |

At night, the campus was very-well lighted. It's hardly deserted at night- my host and I got back to her dorm at around 1:30 a.m., and there were still many people on the bus back to East. |

I can only guess at this but the tour guide said that the campus police did an excelent job at keeping Duke safe. Therefore I have no other choice than to give Duke a 5. |

As many already know, Durham itself has a reputation for being a dangerous city, but the campus itself feels incredibly safe and there definitely secu |
