Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Colby-Sawyer College fell from 4 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in Rape (2 to 0), Fondling (1 to 0) and Statutory Rape (1 to 0).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Colby-Sawyer College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Colby-Sawyer College sits on price and outcomes
At $27,431, Colby-Sawyer College's reported average net price is cheaper than 72% among 25 New Hampshire colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,489.

- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $22,456 for families reporting under $30,000 against $29,679 above $110,000, a difference of $7,223. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $27,431 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($37,935) are less than 1.4 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
