As a student, I can say that I’ve always felt safe in the Vanderbilt bubble. Traveling at night alone is a bad idea no matter where you are. It’s very strange that Belmont is considered so much safer; it’s very close to Vanderbilt and actually is a more dangerous part of the city… Plus Vanderbilt has a great police force that are stationed/patrolling ALL the time. They’re literally everywhere.

Anyways, if you look at the list of most dangerous schools, you’ll see a ton of elite universities (Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Stanford, Harvard, Brown, etc) all ranked as more dangerous than Vanderbilt, and none of these schools have a reputation for danger, as far as I know. Wouldn’t take these statistics too seriously.
