In general, St. Olaf and Northfield are very safe. However, St. Olaf does have some extra resources to ensure students are always supported and safe both on, and off campus!<\/span><\/p>\n

Safe Ride<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Safe Ride<\/span><\/a> is a program where students can get a safe ride or walking escort anywhere on-campus and to areas immediately adjacent to campus. Feel free to call if you are sick, injured, or if it\u2019s too dark or cold to walk to your destination. Safe Ride will NOT transport groups of people or provide transportation to downtown locations. If you need to get into town, take the bus! *Operation hours are at night from 7pm to 1am during the academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n
