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.
