Yeah this needs to be stickied. If your D is scared of walking around at night tell them to call a umd police escort that will walk you anywhere you want on campus. I’ve done it once and they are on call 24/7, definitely safe. Don’t walk by yourself (a big group preferably), don’t carry bags, etc. It’s all common sense. I used to be scared, but not as much anymore and that’s saying something considering I’m a 4’10" little girl lol. Honestly though I don’t ever see cops patrolling the campus at night, but others on this board have said they do so idk.

UMBC has its crimes too. I think my sister said that while she was there someone was raped/sexually assaulted in the parking lot during the semester. Bottom line is there are crimes everywhere and you really can’t predict what may happen, like VT, Yeardley Love, etc.
