<p>My D was a freshman last year during the bomb threats. Yes, it was scary at first, but after a while students adjusted to the situation. Although some of her friends went home early, she stuck it out through finals and has not voiced any concerns about it since then. </p>
<p>In the 3-4 times I have visited Oakland I have found it to be very safe. I am from Philly and I would say that Oakland is way safer than, say, the neighborhood of U Penn. In short, I wouldn’t be worried about safety!</p>
