I am a female student here. I lived on Hemenway last year and on Columbus (near IV) this year, both in dorms. I can say that considering the size and location of NU it is freakishly safe! There is a HUGE police presence… NUPD and BPD constantly on bikes, on foot, in cars, etc. Also, there are other ways to get to NU but I’ve walked that way many times and even through the night there are always police there. NU is truly exceptional with safety and was ranked the 2nd safest school in the country.

Two cool programs worth noting 1) There is a 24/7 police escort service. You just call the public safety number and they will come to you and take you home or wherever you need to go. Also, 2) There is a shuttle service at the library that picks up students every half hour and drops them off at dorms around campus so if you are ever studying late there are other options.
