Angers is a wonderful, dynamic city. More than a third of its inhabitants are students. As far as security is concerned, I've had 2/3 unfortunate incidents, but nothing serious. In the evening, there's no problem going out and returning home alone. Sometimes, people even offer to walk a little way to make you feel safer.

Little town, globally safe even at night. Went home pretty much drunk a few times by walking and using the night bus and never had a problem. A few problems around the train station, many homeless (avoid this place by night if possible).

I live in the heart of Angers near the train station. The area is really good and clean. I stay out late at night, and come home alone at 3 am or 4 am. The public transport is well connected and safe to use.

It's a really cute city and pretty safe, there is not that much to do but there is some museum, bar and stuff like that. You have to be a bit careful at night but I think like every other city .

I feel really safe in Angers. I've been there for a few years now and I can say that it is a really good student city, with lots of means of transport, lots of activities to do and friendly people! I'm going out at anytime on any day because I don't worry at all about bad things happening, for now everything is perfect!
