<p>I heard NU's not a really safe campus compared to other places
some crimes I guess?
How would it be for an asian girl to be there?</p>
<p>Some crime? I didn’t hear of anything out of the ordinary during my first year. Certainly nothing dangerous. And it’s not scary at all for an Asian girl. I have no idea where you heard all this. You might be thinking of the area surrounding UChicago…</p>
<p>yeah, you’re thinking of that other school in Chicago. NU’s location in Evanston is in the North Shore.</p>
<p>Everyone freaks about like the 1-3 crimes that happen on/with 3 blocks of campus annually. I laugh and explain how a crime a quarter is pretty good safety. </p>
<p>Women should never walk alone off-campus, but I’d feel safe walking down sheridan at any hour of the night. The unsafe parts of evanston basically start a block west beyond where anyone lives and further south than you will go late at night. </p>
<p>Although I can’t confirm if this is true, those blue light stations that have the red buttons that link to Northwestern PD have never been used/needed to be used to stop a crime.</p>
<p>It’s perfectly safe. Asian girls are so common at NU that you’d think it would be obvious :P</p>
<p>Thankyou so much.
I love NU but I was so worried
I see I was going over = )</p>
<p>NU is generally really safe, though IMO the administration could be doing much more to promote campus security, like expand SafeRide (at depaul, their saferide is basically as fast as a taxi service, and not limited to residential buildings), and step up on-campus patrols.</p>
<p>Evanston is a suburb, so you aren’t in an urban location with more serious crime problems.</p>
<p>My D, Asian girl, has never brought safety up as a concern. You may initially want to go in groups with your friends till you get a feel for the place.</p>
