Great university town with more cultural opportunities than I expected, CSU offers some great community programs. Old Town is very cute and safe and the brewery scene is exceptional. Outdoor life is a joy and the sun shines even in winter. Nearby camping is exceptional.

Fort Collins is a college town with lots of access to fun outdoor activities. I highly suggest spending time around the Poudre River. We do get an increased amount of unhoused people which I know can become a concern for women around old town. In general safety is great, but do keep a check on your surroundings.

Fort Collins is a very safe city. It's a college town, filled with friendly students who are willing to help out. Low crime, I know lots of people who don't even lock their doors at night. I feel incredibly safe, both day and night.

Fort Collins is a college town that feels very much that way and does not have much crime subsequently. You’ll only see an ambulance every now and then, and I’ve never seen police actively doing much.

Fort Collins is generally safe overall. Weekends in Old Town can get rowdy. There have been shooting and stabbings mainly among the transient community. Theft, especially bike theft, is higher than average. Vehicle and catalytic converter theft is on the rise. Women should exercise some caution if walking alone in the Old Town area late at night on weekends. Verbal harassment is not uncommon.
