Safest College Campus By State

In a perfect world, academics and career goals could be your top priority in choosing a university. However, safety—or the lack thereof—is fast becoming a determining factor for future students and their parents and guardians.

You’ve already seen articles ranking college safety nationwide, so in this article we decided to break that ranking down by state and show just how varied your safe-campus options are.

To determine the safest school in each state, we tallied the crimes reported by universities and divided them into three main sections:

  • Violent crime
  • Property crime
  • Violence against women

We weighed the crimes by severity and divided the school’s crime score by enrollment to calculate total per-capita crime. All the universities listed here are either private or non-profit four-year colleges with over one thousand enrolled students.

Whether you’re the parent of a high schooler or you’re a student who prioritizes safety, have a look at our list below. And if you haven’t already, consider adding some of the safest colleges in the U.S. to your shortlist of possible universities!
