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!

It's pretty safe, but I still wouldn't recommend walking alone at night! However, I've never been robbed or attacked, and I don't mind if I don't lock my door before leaving my apartment!

It is a University city. In the summer, it is very quiet. Sherbrooke is surrounded by nature. There are mountains (small) around and a lake in the city center. The transport system is not very good, so many citizens have cars. For students, the transportation is free for buses. It is very safe here as it is a small city.
