This safe and idyllic setting not only makes Durham a good choice for college students, but also pulls folks in who are considering a relocation from their current spot.

Joining Durham on the roster of states with some of the safest college towns in America are Milton, Massachusetts, Rexburg, Idaho, and Madison, New Jersey, according to the list.
