Brown University Campus Safey Very Safe
Brown University has excellent standards in regard to safety and security on campus.There is very little campus crime, and I never feel as if my personal safety were in jeopardy. Downtown Providence at night, however, can be slightly frightening as there can be sketchy groups of people wandering around.There are blue campus safety lights placed periodically around campus that allow for one to contact SafeRide, Brown's 24/7 service that transports students to various on-campus destinations should they ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Not Too Intense
The campus strictness at Brown University is very lenient. There is a lot of underage drinking, which takes place in frats, sororities, dormitories, and the like. There is also quite a lot of drug usage. Marijuana is very popular and smoked pretty much everywhere. The campus officers are extremely helpful and are not all out to turn people in or ruin people's fun. Their main purpose is to ensure that Brown students remain safe.

Transportation Ranges from Standard to Substandard
Most people at Brown University walk everywhere. Few people have cars. The transportation system, Ripta, is available for all of Providence and is pretty standard. There is a separate bus service that is able to transport students downtown and back. However, it is difficult getting to and from the airport. In most situations when students need a reliable transportation source to get somewhere, they call the local cab service.
