Well I mean, we do go to Duke, so we all love it here. BUT I know I wouldn’t lie to you, and I don’t think many other posters would. I merely responded to this thread because those were my concerns when coming to Duke.

When it comes to safety, Durham is, like many places, somewhere to use your common sense. I never feel threatened or anything on campus…there have been many nights when I’ve been walking alone and cops will stop like “Do you need someone to walk with your to your dorm?” When it comes to going off campus…like I said…common sense. There are places I feel safe going once it gets dark, and places I don’t…there are even places I don’t like to go in the daylight, but I think you can say that about anywhere. Even Chapel Hill has its dark alleys and I consider that a very safe town. Just use your head and make safe choices and you’ll be safe.
