Statistics show that in comparison to other large college campuses, UD is a relatively safe environment. Nonetheless, individuals in our community still must take personal responsibility for their own safety by being aware and alert.

Newark, Delaware is generally safe, even at night, although some people prefer to walk in groups of at least two. The most prevalent problem is petty theft. Illegal entry and theft of valuables from residences on campus and in Newark can occur, but you can greatly reduce your chances of becoming a victim of this crime by following some simple guidelines: always lock your doors and windows when leaving, even if just for a few minutes, and do not leave your belongings unattended in public places. The Center for International Studies will store your passports and airline tickets in a safe during your stay. We suggest that you do not bring anything particularly valuable, but if you do you may wish to insure it before you leave home as neither the University of Delaware nor the U. S. Government can accept any responsibility for your loss; photograph and record the serial numbers of your valuables.
