Overall very safe town. I find that the streets aren't well lit at night, but it makes me more scared about cars/drivers not seeing me than someone actually trying to harm me. It's mostly a student town, so the downtown area is always somewhat busy.

About 25% of the community in Sherbrooke are students. Being myself a student, I have been living here for 3 years already. There is a really great feeling of community here and people are very welcoming. I have always felt very safe in this city during the day and at night. My friends/acquaintances and I have never experienced any kind of assault or felt unsafe here.

Sherbrooke is a very safe place, a lot of students live here! You can walk as a solo female here, even at night! Public transportation is also very safe, people are kind and I have never felt in danger here!
