Campus Extremely Safe
The UCPD is everywhere, all the time. Even late night, going far to frats and apartment parties, the cops will be right around the corner (but not busting parties for anything other than noise). Outside of the UCPD's area is a little more iffy. From what I've heard, it's the largest private police force in the world, and it shows. Their concerns are really only for your safety, generally avoiding any questions regarding drugs/alcohol.

Variety in Dorms
Depending on your choice of dorm, you could go with aesthetics in the gothic feel of BJ, social aspect of Pierce (and the amenity of an in house dining hall, though at the cost of small rooms), the spacious singles of south (and the freedom of being farther removed from campus), or the "typical" college dorm of Max P. All have their advantages/disadvantages, so decide which aspect you're really going for.

Fairly Convenient
The college runs shuttles at all hours of the day, some dorms are close to a CTA bus station that you can take to the subway downtown pretty easily. It's helpful if you have a bike, especially if you're living in one of the farther dorms.
