Detroit is known for being unsafe and full of crime, not just in the country, but throughout the world. Downtown area of Detroit is quite safe, but emergency services are still slow in times of need. The area I'm writing this review for is quite bad. On the UDM campus, there is public safety which is very reliable and efficient. Of campus, however, is unsafe to venture onto by yourself. If you do go off, you should go with a group of people and try to not hang around in the dark. Crimes have been committed in this area and police are slow, but if you use common sense, you should be fine in this area.

Downtown Detroit is a quick drive away and holds so many opportunities for employment. There are so many amazing hospitals in this area, as well as huge corporations. There are also theaters, sports stadiums, and many different restaurants ranging from small and convenient to expensive and extravagant.
