How safe is it to walk to or from Georgia Tech to the midtown Marta station during the day or evening hours?

Son will be traveling from out-of-state and will most likely use Marta to get back and forth from airport and GT. We know there is a trolley service, but was considering walking when he can.

With some of the robberies/crime around campus recently we were not sure if walking was wise. For example, how is the area during the day/early evening?

Also, is there any other transportation system besides Marta which are good safe/economical options?
