Blue lights and campus police, etc.. Walking around campus after dark, I felt safe with a group of people and campus was active. The interior of campus is isolated, but there are dark spots outside. [View Full Report]

The tour guide said that there was an entire police staff just for the school but that they got very little work done only because there was so little crime on campus. [View Full Report]

All the doors are locked after 5:00 pm. You can only access it with a card. [View Full Report]

Multiple time and card lock systems on all doors to dorms, floors, rooms etc. Campus security is quick and in general campus feels very self contained and safe. [View Full Report]

There weren't very many blue lights, because the campus is very safe. Honor system works at this school. Saw people leaving their stuff and coming back twenty minutes later, without stress. [View Full Report]

Every so often in a post along a pathway there is a little box with a red bottom which, if pressed, summons the campus police. [View Full Report]

I was walking with my host back from some late-night class and the place was pretty deserted, but she seemed pretty relaxed. Dont remember seeing any blue lights though. [View Full Report]

Didn't see the emergency blue things that other universities had. One student warned me not to walk across campus at night due to safety issues, but walking around the dorms at 2 am seemed safe. [View Full Report]

I never felt unsafe during my three-day stay. The campus is secluded from the ghetto parts of St. Louis. [View Full Report]

I'm not sure about safety there. Though, it was very very safe when I was there. [View Full Report]

I'm not really sure, but Wash U is in a pretty suburban place. St. Louis itself is NOT a nice area at all, and I would not walk around there by myself. [View Full Report]
