Is crime a problem at U.Va.?
While our crime rate is extremely low, there is some crime at the University of Virginia just as there is crime at any other university. However, University students are proactive rather than reactive in their approach to crime. Emergency telephones, the University Police Department, the Student Escort Service, and the Honor System all make life here safer. More importantly, students are encouraged to look out for each other and to take their own safety and the safety of others seriously.
