Statesboro, Georgia, is home to Georgia Southern University, one of the safest schools in the country, and hosts a 2.2 million-square-foot Wal-Mart distribution center, the largest in the world. Putting big savings aside for a moment, the school did well on the most serious types of crime, but reported 17 burglaries, three robberies and one arson for 2006 and 2007 on campus. Crime in the campus vicinity and at non-campus buildings was low.
