Safety is always one of the most critical issues involving any school or community.

Experts with Your Local Security released their third annual report of the safest college campuses in the nation and Clemson was ranked tops in South Carolina.

The study looked at public and private schools (453 total) with at least 5,000 students with the four main factors: hate crimes, violence against women, property crime, and violent crime.

The top five safest schools on the list were Lakeland Community College (Kirtland, OH), Benedictine University (Lisle, IL), Foothill College (Los Alto Hills, CA), University of Cumberland (Williamsburg, KY), and West Texas A&M (Canyon, TX).
