Rockville Centre parents set to kiss their kids off to college next year may be happy to find out one of the safest colleges in the country is in their own backyard, according to a list released by Niche.com. Of course, if their children have already accepted offers to Ohio State or Alabama, then good luck.

Molloy landed No. 2 on the college ranking website's 2018 list of Safest College Campuses in America, and was one of just two New York schools in the top 50. It was second only to Bay Path University in Longmeadow, Mass. 

"We are very pleased to have been named the nation's #2 college for safety," Brian Connors, Molloy's assistant director of public safety, wrote in a statement. "...I would say that campus safety - particularly for our students - is something that is of utmost importance to the faculty and staff, not just Public Safety. It is a responsibility that we all take very seriously."
