The tour guide didn't talk about safety. But Princeton is so enclosed and is in such a small, suburban town that I can't imagine crime even happens.

Blue light emergency phones around campus. Didn't feel unsafe on campus, but Princeton, NJ's not exactly a crime hub.

The small town feel of Princeton makes it feel very safe--no worries here.
