Totally Safe

I feel very safe on campus. The pathways leading from campus are well lit. I have never felt unsafe on campus. I've never been robbed or pranked.

BYU Security Is Bored

Since there is an honor code kids do not often cause much trouble. In addition it is very rare that anything dangerous happens on campus. The most dangerous thing is crossing the street when the light says stop.
