That section of Worcester is not the most desirable section, but the Clark campus is quite safe. If it's late at night, I wouldn't stray far from the campus, at least East or South, but for the most part it's just hard working people and then some substance abuse and petty crime issues.

I've walked home many, many times from the bars in and around Clark, I've walked from bars on the other side of town through the neighborhoods adjacent to Clark, and walked around there before the areas had improved. I'm not hanging around those areas late at night, I'm walking through them and doing it in a determined way, but I've never felt unsafe. ... Just keeping to myself and moving. I think the biggest risk is probably folks struggling with substance abuse.

I suspect biggest risk might be petty crime, lock your car doors, etc.
