What is Reddit's opinion of SafeWalk?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Use should use SafeWalks! Did you know they have a super convenient app now for iOS and Android?

But yes, that's a great suggestion. We could all use a little more information on the resources available. Thanks!

It's safe. Buses are reduced, so you may find yourself walking more, but the weather is nicer and there's more daylight. The same safety tips apply during the summer as during the school year: Walk in groups, use well-lit routes, lock your doors, etc. SafeWalks continues to operate during the summer, so a walking escort is just a phone call away. (Or download the mobile app for iOS or Android).

Alright cool!

Thanks for replying. Here is a link to the download for the current app, play around with it, and think of any changes and fixes you can make to it. I don't think it currently works right now though lol, so that would probably be the first thing.

I will send you the code base later this week, do you have a skype and email I can send and contact you?

Thank you for reading.

We have a very safe campus, but no community of our size will ever be crime-free. So it's a good idea to observe a few safety tips that can reduce your risk of being targeted by a criminal.

— Try to avoid walking alone if you can. There are probably other people in this class who share your concern. See if you can group up with a few of them to walk home after class.

— If you MUST walk home alone, use well-lit, high-traffic routes. Remember that the shortest route home may not always be the safest. Other people here have good suggestions -- stick to the main streets. Around 5 p.m., there will be a lot of traffic going in and out of campus, and you should have no problem finding busy streets.

— Stay alert, and call 911 immediately if anything looks suspicious. It's best to not use headphones so you can hear everything around you. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. The police are happy to assist whenever you feel unsafe, even for relatively small things.

And these tips aren't just for 5 p.m. on Wednesdays — they apply year-round, especially later at night. SafeWalks start at 7 p.m. in the winter. You can ask for one by calling 217-333-1216 or downloading the app for iOS or Android.
