4 - Very Good	IrunN2doorz April 20 2008	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. [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	blackeyedsusan March 21 2008	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! [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	we're_going_down_swinging November 16 2006	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. [View Full Report]
5 - Excellent	collegedude August 09 2006	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. [View Full Report]
