To the original poster:
It is very safe. I’ve never really felt threatened.

But do know that a college campus, wherever it is, is going to come with its fair share of weirdos and creeps. Sexual assaults on campuses around America are growing, so if you are a girl (if not, tell friends), you should have mace on hand and not be afraid to call a CSO (campus security officer) if you need to get somewhere alone at night. That’s just common sense anywhere.

Though the biggest worry you’ll find crime related is bike theft. Get a lock!

However, gangs? No, though you will find some funny looking Asian guys who dress like gang members, but they are really from Laguna Hills.
