Bozeman is an overall safe community, as it it a small town in Montana. But I would beware of nights on main street as I have heard of some women getting followed or roofied at the bar. But if you are avoiding these places it should be safe. However 2 years ago my car got broken into, next to campus. I would just keep belongings with you at all times, as I don’t think they would rob you directly

Bozeman is very safe. I have lived there most of my life and had very little issues. I have only had one thing stolen out of my car in the last 10 years. I used to leave my car open all the time. I now lock the door but never had an issue again. It's always good to be cautious.

Bozeman is safe and comfortable! Very low crime rate. Public transportation is amazing, safe, and clean- it’s all mostly college-aged kids, and the shuttles will take you just about anywhere. Even up to the highest mountains if you wanted to ski/snowboard. Very walkable city, Bozeman’s main part is fairly small and allows you to walk just about anywhere, from stores to restaurants to activities. Super superrr clean city as well. Literally no trash. Very small town vibes.

Bozeman is an affluent, educated town centered on tourism and the university. It sees many visitors every year from across the world. Despite the recent growth, the town remains extremely safe and I've never feared walking around town as a single woman at any time. There's more of a chance of you running into a dangerous wild animal (on the trails outside of town) than being attacked by a human in town. The public transportation is limited, which is the only negative.

Bozeman is a very safe town. Crime is very low and it's extremely safe to walk around at night. The only real danger is from bears when hiking alone in the wilderness so bear spray is recommended unless on trails in town
