I haven’t lived in IV, but as far as the area being safe, you have nothing to worry about. Everyone uses the orange line to go places all the time. And as far as 8am classes, that is definitely nothing to worry about. Many, many, many people will be having classes/co-ops where they need to be up and passing through Ruggles before and around 8 am.

I’m not sure where you guys have to pick up packages, but i thought everyone does at Speare. Speare is like a 5- 10 minute walk maybe from IV, but you will be around there all the time for classes or to eat at stetson east/west.

And as for Columbus Ave in general, I would say just don’t walk around there alone very late at night (past maybe 2 am). I worked on columbus ave last year and would walk alone back from work all the way across campus at around 9, and i never felt unsafe.

Hope that helps
