Stay on Campus

I have never once felt in danger on campus. Cincinnati may be a city with a bad reputation, but if you're on campus there seems to be virtually no danger.

Be Smart

Xavier can be a very safe place... if you don't do anything dumb. The school has been putting 20+ blue emergency phones around campus. But, there are some dangerous areas off campus. As long as you don't leave at night by yourself, you'll be fine. Plus there is a bus that provides transportation around the outside of X which is also nice.

Safety and Security at Xavier University

Considering Xavier is such a small campus, I have always felt pretty safe while traveling alone at night while on campus. During the day, I am not necessarily thinking too much about my safety. However, I have found myself alone on campus walking to my car after a long night of studying or writing a paper. Times like these, I am thankful that we have a small campus; on my walk to my car, the chances of seeing a campus police car are generally pretty high. Also, when the newer buildings such as the CLC and Smith were added, there were new emergency set-ups added with buttons to push that link directly to campus police. These made me feel even safer than before. Although it is hard to say that I am 100% safe, especially considering the area just a few blocks away from campus, I can say that I generally feel safe while on Xavier's campus.
