Is Erzurum Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Erzurum

I am a university student in Erzurum and this is my first year. Despite it being my first year, I haven't encountered any security issues so far. I think Erzurum is good in terms of security.

My opinion is that it is a safe city. Generally, the city is quiet. University students do not have more criminal records than locals. Most local people and officers live there. It is located in the east of the country.

Erzurum is a safe City, but you need to be careful about what you wear. It is like in a arabic City, If you wear a short Siirt they stare at you. Also I recommend you to not stay outside after Some certain hours.

Since the city is in the east side of Turkey, it's a more of a rude city than kind. They don't know much English and the barrier between a woman and a man is so harsh. They don't sit with the opposite sex on the bus but they are not ashamed of catcalling. They seem to respect the woman but also they don't respect. I don't recommend being alone after midnight as a girl. I studied here for 6 years, I live in Antalya normally. And I have to say, I cried a lot, esp in the bus and the roads. I can't wear anything I want unfortunately.
