State College Downtown Safety

<p>nah we be on that senior slide. dont you have something to do?</p>

<p>I live on University Drive, and it is pretty safe, if you ask me. I’m a guy, btw. I’ve walked from the HUB all the way to University Drive passing Burger King at like 2-3 AM. I admit, usually it’s more dangerous during the weekends because you’re more likely to run into a drunk or high idiot on the street than an actual criminal! I’ve gotten yelled at plenty of times by drunk people, but it’s nothing too bad because they’re too drunk to even walk so they fall all over the place. However, there have been a few robberies around downtown and at the Lion Shrine at gunpoint, but keep in mind that these people were out in the middle of night for no reason, so it’s kind of expected. But you should generally be safe. If you do feel unsafe, you can always call campus security and have them escort you to a certain point.</p>
