<p>It’s quite understandable that people will be concerned, but as a student here I must say that the insecurity issue seems quite overblown by people who do not live here. Yes, there were a couple isolated incidences at the beginning of the year, but Yale Police and New Haven police have reinforced patrolling, more ‘blue phones’ for emergency cases are being set up, and there’s always the escort service you can get by dialing 2-WALK.</p>
<p>That + a little common sense should be enough. It would be ridiculous not to attend Yale because of security issues.</p>
