<p>It is a city, and as such there is some crime. If you take the necessary precautions (don’t walk alone at night down a back street, etc.) you’ll be fine. </p>
<p>There’s usually a couple muggings / break-ins a year, in addition to a shooting every few years, although it’s almost always in the same areas (certain parts of South Oakland, a residential area). </p>
<p>All in all, if you don’t live on those particular back streets and don’t wander around on said streets by yourself late at night, you’ll be fine. The main areas (Forbes and Fifth) are perfectly fine at night, as is Upper Campus. There are a ton of police officers around as well as safety call boxes.</p>
<p>Just don’t live on Mc Kee or Meyran Ave when you move off-campus.</p>
