<p>My D went to Vandy. At the same time, I worked in a school in an urban area of the midwest. The school where I worked had a low crime rate, yet I can assure you that my D was safer than I was. I wouldn’t even walk by myself in the area of the school at lunch. My D was able to walk anywhere in the day … and she was careful at night. Heck, I wouldn’t have walked from my office to the parking deck by myself after 5!!! D lived off-campus, behind the freshman dorms, and she could safely walk from her condo to the campus after dark. She would not walk to areas off campus on the Elliston side alone after dark, but that was a common-sense, safety thing.</p>
<p>Bottom line … Vandy is safe. Be careful, as is always a good thing.</p>
