"So I've kinda been wondering about safety in New Orleans. Last week on the news there was this whole series of stories about how unsafe New Orleans is right now. Of course, that could just be the media blowing things of out proportion but do you feel like Tulane and the area around Tulane is a relatively safe place to be?"
- Amanda, OK
To answer your question, I have never felt unsafe at Tulane. As long as you follow the basic safety rules for living on a college campus, you should be fine! Remember to always travel in groups, know where you're going ahead of time, take a cab instead of walking in sketchy areas, have a cell phone with you with important numbers programmed in it, etc. If something happens, TUPD (Tulane University Police Department), TEMS (Tulane Emergency Medical Service), and Safe Ride are always only a phone call away. While New Orleans has a reputation as a dangerous city, Tulane's campus is very safe. Seriously, as long as you don't walk around by yourself in the middle of the night or wander alone into bad parts of New Orleans, you should be fine!
