Most people generally think of East Lansing as a safe place to live, and it is. However, don’t allow yourself to be taken advantage of.
Because there is a large rental/student population in East Lansing, there is a high theft rate during specific times of the year, specifically Fall Welcome, Christmas Break, and Spring Break. Far too many students leave a window or door unlocked and valuables all over the house. Don’t become another victim! If you are concerned about the safety of your house and it is a non-emergency, please call the East Lansing Police non-emergency line at (517) 351-4220. The officers are very willing to help with any concerns you might have.
Also, think about your health and safety in other ways. Here are a few resources to help if you have questions or concerns about any of these areas. People who work in these offices are concerned about the mental and physical health of students, and are willing to help in any way they can.
