How bad is? I've heard that Boca is pretty safe aside from the tragedy at the mall but i've been reading the Boca Police Blotter and wondering how safe is it to live off of campus? How common is armed robbery and what type of precautions should i take?
I've never worried about it ever.
I've walked around on-campus at midnight. Nothing.
My car has never been broken into.
I've left friend's apartments at all hours and never even felt uncomfortable.
None of my friends have ever been robbed, mugged, anything.
Boca is awesome in that respect.
The worst thing that ever happened to any of us is someone trying to scam us out of $5 at the gas station… you know, the whole, "Scuse me sir… our car ran out of gas and we're just trying to get home" trick. That happened twice in three years.
So yeah.
Just take the usual precautions… roll up your windows and lock your doors… you should be fine.

i got jumped at the Shell station across from FAU back in 1993 ( i think it is another brand of gas now) and swatted over the head with a tire iron which required about 14 stiches…some thugs were trying to carjack my roomates car when we left the store…
BUT other than that nothing to report! Lol…….

Re: Crime in Boca Raton?
One thing I do recommend is to watch out for scammers. No offense to any of you guys down there, but it seems to me that there are a lot of people in S.FL looking to make a quick buck, so if someone comes up to you with a deal too good to be true, it probably is.
FAU - We got Bowls!

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
