Molloy College Named One Of Safest Campuses In America

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY — Molloy College has been named one of the safest campuses in the nation. The school was ranked 7th on a list by Newsweek and was the only college within the New York City region to crack the top ten.

"Students and parents can feel very good about our ranking in this independently researched list, and we are pleased to have been recognized," Molloy College President Dr. James Lentini said. "Safety comes in all forms and our COVID-19 policies are no exception as well. We are prepared for an in-person fall semester that will have in place procedures to do all we can to maintain a safe and health campus for students, faculty, employees and staff."

The magazine used college data and review site Niche compiled the list analyzing the data and student reviews.

"Our Safest College Campuses ranking is intended to highlight colleges with little to no campus crime, drugs, or alcohol usage," Niche's Natalie Tsay said in the article. "We consider factors like crime incidents on campus and in the local area, student survey responses, and rates for violence and arrests."
