collegemagazine.comPretty dangerous in my opinion as a current student. Steep icy hills don't really work well with crosswalks and intersections. Ive seen the big snow removal equipment slide right down Mcnair hill into a parking lot.

I heard about one of the trucks sliding down the mcnair hill LOL after 4 years here I can tell you that that has only happened once that I'm aware of.
Of course you have to dress and outfit your car properly for the weather in order to keep yourself and others safe, that's a no brainer. But you don't have to worry about your car being stolen, being mugged, there are loads of resources for sexual assault prevention and awareness, student EMS on call at all times, etc.

Yeah, you have a point. The only sketchy parts about Houghton and MTU for students are the weather and the misfit frats like Scums.

Safety ratings for university's are usually based on crimes on campus.
That means anything not related to crime doesn't count.
I went to a school with a fairly safe campus, but the community off campus to the east wasn't necessarily safe though.

The fact that you didn't realize this was about crime rate says a lot about the campus as is!

That's the point haha, I feel very safe on campus.

Except for moose attacks.
Those are a real problem.

No surprise except for maybe freezing to death or getting lost in the snow and falling into the portage. I was on the campus during the record snowfall season of 78-79 - I remember trying to find my car that was parked in the freshman lot for Xmas break - could only recognize it by the shape of the snowdrift...
