Fairly safe college town. There are reports on campus of sexual harassment after hours, so always travel with a buddy if you are on the outskirts of the downtown area (this only happens Off Campus in more remote areas). If you stay on campus, you are safe. Some populations downtown have been known to yell at passersby, but this is rare.

I am in us since 6 months now and I feel really safe here! I can't say with 100% certainty that the city is safe, but from the feel of it, it's a very cool university and family town, and I feel safe there.

Ann Arbor is relatively safe. Sometimes unhoused folks can get a bit pushy with asking for money, but usually it’s okay to just ignore. As with all college towns, women should be cognizant of the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses.

Lecturer and researcher at the University of Michigan. Never been outside of the USA, but hoping to change that! I have a beautiful orange cat named oatmeal, and I love reading poetry, Russian lit, and about Ancient Greece. Dream trips = Angkor Wat and Hurculaneum. Italy 2026!
