I’m a student at MICA. We have security at the front of every building as well as patrol cars that drive/park around campus - you can flag them down if need be. Most of the area is well-lit at night, I’ve walked home countless times very late without incident. The most that I’ve heard of happening here is infrequent robbery (we get emails about crime directly around campus). Just be aware of your surroundings.

It’s a very friendly and serene neighborhood from what I’ve seen. Lots of people walking their dogs, and the Park Ave park sometimes has people selling clothes/items/furniture/etc
