Boca Raton for the most part is a very safe place to live.

Safe Traveling

Walking around campus is completely safe. There is night transportation that takes you wherever you need to go and never really random civilians strolling the campus. The only downfall is the community of raccoons that live on campus and run through the sidewalks.

In Boca there are some dark spots that school can better illuminate, but in the 4 years I lived on campus I almost always felt safe, as long as one uses the buddy system you should never have a problem. I heard of some issues, but it usually was late at night and they usually traveled alone. Keep doors locked because I did get my laptop stolen once. The campus is beautiful in the day and at night and I had a lot of fun.

Davie campus is a quiet campus that is really pretty and never felt uncomfortable.

Downtown campus is pretty safe too security is always available and I haven't had any issues with the downtown campus.
