Is VCU a safe school?

<p>I've never been to VCU before but I plan to go pretty soon. I recently just got accepted and I know it's the school I should go to since I want to be a dental hygienist and they're the only dental school here in Virginia. Though, I am not really a city girl. I've been to NYC a couple of times and I love it there but I hate it too. I don't think I'm very street smart, I call my friend when I'm walking home alone at night because I am terrified something might happen to me. I've been to Columbia University and it's obviously a city school but it's beautiful and it felt safe. I feel as if VCU might get me killed or robbed, or even raped. Any tips and advice, please? I'm sorry if anything I said offended anyone, I'm just terrified.</p>
