I would not say UC campus is unsafe. I’d say it’s the same as any campus. You just have to be aware of your surroundings and use common sense and not walk alone at night. One of the surrounding neighborhoods is known to be somewhat unsafe, but it’s not on campus so you can avoid it. I’m 5’1", 100 lb and have never ever felt unsafe on the campus. Many of the people who say the campus is dangerous are people who have never even been to UC and are basing it off of what others have told them. You’d think Miami U has a safe campus since it’s not near a city and it’s nice and pretty right? But I’ve known 2 different people who went to my school who got mugged there. Haven’t known anyone who has had that problem at UC. It’s just a stereotype - people are generalizing that it must be an unsafe school due to some of the nearby areas (neighborhood near zoo I’m pretty sure is the dangerous one and some parts of downtown) being unsafe.
