I live a block away from the law school. It's a great neighborhood and very safe. I mean, we're another two blocks away from the West Hartford town line and tucked in a very wealthy neighborhood.

I pretty regularly walk to Farmington Ave to grab a bite or visit a bar. Hartford is great, but small. The North and South ends are rough, but downtown is mellow (if abandoned) and the West end is rad. Suburbanites are idiots.

Not OP but UCONN Law is on the West end which is “safer” compared to the Northend or Southend of Hartford. Again this is all relative but short answer is yes it’s safer.
