Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Most Davis students feel they have to worry more about locking their bikes than their front doors. Students say they feel safe because of Davis’ small suburban setting. Most students are familiar with the services offered by the school, although many say they hardly feel the need to use them. Students feel comfortable enough to walk alone at night, although that is not an advisable thing to do. Despite the fact that UC Davis seems safe enough, there is still a huge effort to increase security on campus since you can never be too safe.

UC Davis funds a free escort service that starts running every night at 6 p.m. There are self-defense classes on campus and plenty of campus safety phones. Students are still advised to carry a bike light or flashlight, though, because while Davis has some great trees, they also make for some dark areas on campus. There are plans to install more lights in those areas and on the bike paths, but having your own light is still a good idea. Despite the darkness, there is little need to panic. In a town where the biggest crime problem is bike theft, safety isn’t too much of an issue.

Davis Is One of the Safest Places

Campus and city crime is very low. Police are very responsive and helpful. There is very little reason to be cautious, even at night. There is a mutual understanding between the students and police. Parties are only shut down if there is a noise violation.

Student Health Center

The student health center is awesome!!! The massage chair soothes your aches and pains right away. We can get 10 free condoms a day and that comes in handy for those who need it;)
