<p>The area around hopkins is safe. Occasionally someone gets robbed when walking a few blocks away from the campus at night, but overall you don’t need to be worried. I’m a Junior and the only problem I’ve ever had was someone stealing a package from my apartment’s mail room (off campus). Just like any other city, you have to be street smart. Don’t take shortcuts through alleys in the middle of the night by yourself, don’t stray far from campus by yourself at night, and don’t take your wallet out of your pocket in the middle of the street.</p>
