You may wish to contact some existing students at UC to get details about this</li><li>Avoid walking alone during night. Walk in group &ndash; use the car service provided by UC - UC Night Ride which operates between 8 pm and 12 am (2 am on certain days) and is free for UC students</li><li>Make sure to lock your windows and doors before leaving the apartment.&nbsp;Duh!</li><li>Try to get an apartment on top floor rather than ground floor.&nbsp;</li></ul><p>With proper caution and care, you should be fine and would have an enjoyable experience at University of Cincinnati. Good Luck!</p>
