Hard to determine really. However, hs daughter took a (daytime) summer class at Rice; it was suggested she walk with others due to ongoing construction and difficulty monitoring access to campus.

I felt pretty safe.

Rice University police seemed friendly and nonintrusive, but they were always on patrol and ready to help.

Gosh, every few minutes it seemed a Rice Police or campus security vehicle pulled around the corner. Plus, they have poles with blue lights all over campus which you can go to and contact police.

The campus "security" force is a police department that can arrive on site in 90 seconds. There is a very low crime rate, one of the lowest in private schools in Texas, or the nation.

It's pretty much isolated from the city. I felt safe the entire time. Also, the surrounding area looked relatively well-off.

It's typical. Campus police right there, nighttime escorts, bus system, etc.

Pretty good for a school in the middle of a major metroplitan area. In fact, really good under those circumstances.

Rice is in a great part of Houston and campus security appears to be tight. There are security posts all over the campus for emergencies. The surrounding neighborhoods seemed to be very safe.
