Ursinus Safety
I have never felt unsafe on campus but I have heard one or two unsettling stories third person. I usually keep my doors locked as a precaution but I know plenty who don't and have never had an issue. The surrounding area is very suburban and friendly. The security guards on duty are sweet and helpful.

You Have to Look Hard Enough...
The first place that many students check out upon arriving at Ursinus is the Collegevile Diner but, with a college wallet, the place becomes difficult to swing after a while. There are plenty of reasonably priced pizza shops (my favorite being the conveniently located Marzella's, sushi places, and bars with restaurant seating. As a vegetarian, I'm used to picking and choosing my way around menus, but, I'd love to see more organic/vegetarian options nearby! I think they'd be a hit with students!

Partying
I've found drinking to be much more popular on campus but, that isn't to say I haven't seen my share of bongs over the past year. There's a small subgroup of students who regularly smoke, definitely but, not so much that they are necessarily worthy of the 'stoner' label. Hard drugs are virtually absent and the only prescription use of I've seen is that of Adderol during finals. As expected, drinking is big but, with the right attitude towards both, it isn't difficult to balance studying and partying.
