Wollongong is constant patrolled by police. At night there are always police cars. Most nights there are always many people on the streets and feels more like a community. However, like all places, you should always be careful, stay on the brighter streets or get an Uber rather than walk at night

Wollongong is a beautiful costal city, its small but has all the things you need. Thr music scene is so good here, with many venues offering free weekend gigs. The beaches are also just as great too!!

Wollongong is a very safe town, especially around the centre. I wouldn’t recommend walking around the uni area by yourself late at night. There are some cooked people but around the CBD feels very safe to me as there is always many other people around!
