Berlin has a moderate crime index of approximately 44.66, meaning it is a relatively safe city to reside in. Neighborhoods like Mitte, Charlottenhurg, and Prenzlaur Berg are considered especially safe since they are usually either heavily policed or have a generally low crime rate.
A resident of Berlin is more likely to experience petty theft or vandalism rather than violent crimes. It is advised to avoid neighborhoods like Leopoldplatz, Görlitzer Park, or Alexanderplatz, especially at night, as these areas have a higher crime rate.

The semester fee charged by German universities comes with a bunch of advantages, one of which includes student transportation passes for unlimited use within certain zones (AB/ABC) and at times, outside.
