<p>Anyone that has spent some time around NEU and the campus can vouch for the fact that the police presence is very very strong. Both Boston City police and Northeastern University police patrol the area day and night. Of course there are areas that should be avoided, just like in any big city. And the students are made very aware of what those areas are during their orientation.</p>
<p>I have first hand knowledge of an incident that occurred last semester and I was very very impressed with the way it was expeditiously handled.</p>
