<p>I have actually never heard of anyone being mugged on-campus, at least not in the time I’ve been a student/alum. There’s certainly low-level crime (e.g., don’t leave your laptop out in public and walk away), but campus is not a dangerous place to be in the least. </p>
<p>I wrote a blog entry on campus safety [url=<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/life/health_safety/home_safe.shtml]here[/url”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/life/health_safety/home_safe.shtml]here[/url</a>], and I don’t think anything’s changed as far as that goes in the past four years. One thing I didn’t mention there is that Boston is a relatively safe city, as far as big cities go, and student safety generally isn’t a problem either on- or off-campus.</p>
