College Prowler Take
Case is an urban campus, so crime is a lingering concern, but not a constant threat. Students recommend traveling in groups at night and avoiding shady areas. Students feel little to no concern about their safety at night but recommend traveling in groups. Many students use the Greenie buses at night or the campus security escort service. During the day, students are not concerned for their safety on campus, but students are aware that the area east of campus can be dangerous at any time if traveling alone or on foot. Every city has its ‘bad’ areas and every once in a while a campus resident or student is reminded that East Cleveland needs some economic reinvestment. Campus safety abound, there are always a handful of personal robberies and thefts about which all students receive news promptly via email. Common sense and listening to the advice of students with experience in navigating areas around campus are best bets to remain cautious but still be able to venture outside University Circle. Numerous yellow call boxes dot the campus which can connect you with security or any Case-affiliated number. Case has three levels of protection: Cleveland Police, University Circle Police, Campus Security. Campus Security provides, well, security, but also a ride at any time of the night from and to any place on campus. The “Greenies,” are the campus bus services, transporting students along a route that includes Coventry Village, running until 12:30 a.m. on weekdays and 2:45 a.m. on weekends and are staffed by campus security personnel in the evenings.

CWRU Does Their Part
B+
While Cleveland is one of the least safe neighborhoods to live in, the campus police does their part to try to make students as safe as possible. They recently started a new program called SafeRide, where a van is used exclusively for shuttling students anywhere on campus. The campus police are also constantly patrolling. Given all these measures, Cleveland is still Cleveland, hence there are still occasional thefts and assaults on campus.

Safe Enough
B
The campus itself is pretty secure, but take a few steps over the border and it's not so safe. Three different police forces patrol the campus, though, so students generally feel safe. Just don't be stupid and you'll be fine.

You're in a Big City. Use Common Sense.
B+
Case Western is in Cleveland, which is a big city, despite what some people think. Some of the neighborhoods that surround the campus are not somewhere you want to be late at night, but definitely are not a neighborhood where students have to be at any point in their college career. There have been some major incidents in the past year with crime and sexual assault. However, Case wants to make sure that these problems are combatted. The Safe Ride program will pick students up in a van until 4AM in the morning, and are especially useful if you have a late night in the library or are on the opposite side of campus. The blue lights system is in place at Case, where there are security poles and a police officer will be there within 30 seconds. Due to the location of Case, there are 5 different police forces that cover the CWRU campus. A day never goes by where I don't see a police car or have the friendly crossing guard Mark assist me across Euclid Avenue. This year, they also handed out rape whistles when you checked into your dorm. Basically, you just need to use common sense on the CWRU campus. Never walk by yourself when its late at night or when you have been drinking. Don't venture too far off campus late at night or by yourself, and don't feel ashamed to use the security systems that Case has in place.

Security is pretty decent, more so...
Security is pretty decent, more so on the South side of campus than on the North side. I must say I am not happy with security all of the time but it is there if you need it. North side is not in the best part of the city and you definitely can’t walk alone there at night. So I wouldn’t say that it is the safest place in the world at night but during the day it is fine. |

Security on campus is very good....
Security on campus is very good. There are emergency call boxes everywhere. The only bad thing is that the school is located near a shady area of Cleveland, so at night it is advisable to walk in groups of three or more. Like any major city, Cleveland has its problems with crime and such but all reasonable human beings should take caution no matter where they are. |
