<p>I have never felt unsafe at Yale. The security force/Yale PD advises that students do not walk alone at night around the campus, but I have disobeyed that suggestion many times and walked back to my college at 2 or 3AM. The streets always have patrolling Yale Security vehicles and there are emergency phones available at all times. I don’t think the surge of crime in New Haven should be deterrent to potential applicants - Yale is a safe place to live and study.</p>
