How safe you feel is really a matter of personal preference. I lived within a 7 min walk from SCCM in a flat by myself. My friend lived with 2 other people and her house was robbed. From personal experience I don't think Luton (within the town centre) is any more unsafe than the average US metropolitan city, however I am from NY and I did live in Spanish Harlem. If you have never lived by yourself before I would recommend getting a housemate, however that said, beign that moving to Luton is a new experience coupled with having to adjust to medical school it may be advisable to share the experience with another, at least for the first semester. On a more personal note, safety is also an issue of awareness and smarts. Not wandering the streets by yourself at 3 am drunk...smart LOL!!
