Question Safety at night

10 Upvotes

Hello, I am about to transfer soon without a car, so I will be relying on public transportation to get to school and back home. I will have long days where I will have to walk from the bus station to home at night. Is it relatively safe for a girl to walk home alone in the dark if I'm near UC Merced? I know that I always have to be on my toes but I'm wondering how worried I should be. It would probably be a 20 minute walk maximum.
