Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 21 MA 2-year peers in this comparison, Roxbury Community College is larger than 40% and safer-reporting than 0% - the smaller, higher-reporting quadrant.

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 Roxbury Community College fell from 12 to 5 (-58%). The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 1) and Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (8 to 1) and Aggravated Assault (3 to 1).
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 Roxbury Community College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Robbery, Fondling and Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. 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 Roxbury Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $12,244, Roxbury Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 15% among 117 Massachusetts colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $24,402.
- $12,244
- average net price
- $24,402
- Massachusetts median
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $40,823, roughly 3.3 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Just 17% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.
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.
