It took my D about 15 minutes to walk to the theater from her dorm. But keep in mind that there is a regular bus which the theater kids tend to use during rainy or snowy weather, and at night. Also, many of the older students will have cars, and my D was often able to get a ride if she didn’t feel like walking.

Security at the theater is good, and there are several busy restaurants in the area, in addition to some nice hotels. There is usually a lot of foot traffic in the neighborhood; in addition, since the theater kids all have the same classes, they tend to travel in groups between classes and to/from rehearsals. While my daughter was there, I never heard about any problems in that area; in fact, there were often fights and other incidents in the Fraternity Row area of campus every weekend – but not near the theater. My D also lived in an apartment about 3 blocks from the theater for several years without any issues.

Of course, you do have to be careful and aware of your surroundings anywhere on campus, like in any other urban area.
