A friend and I are planning to move to London to attend college.
It will only be me and her, in college, and we will most likely get an apartment; is this a good idea?
of course, we are going to be wanting to go out and party.

Not as dangerous as Colorado Springs. People killing people here more frequently.
No.
Safer that any city of its size that I can think of. The biggest problem are pick pockets, sneak thieves, and Man Untited supporters (when in town).
No its not dangerous, its very safe, safer than I feel here in the USA. However, every big city has its bad neighborhoods, so just be careful when your out and about. Croydon on the east side isn’t the safest, Hackney in north London isn’t the safest, and Seven Sisters either. Apartments are expensive..try the “looking for roommates” ads instead of renting by yourselves, it’ll be cheaper.
It totally depends on which area you live in.
Central London is very safe day and night, but you probably wouldn’t want to walk about Homerton, parts of Brixton or Seven Sisters late night on your own.
But mostly if you keep to common sense - i.e. look like you know where you are going, avoid unfamiliar areas and travelling upstairs on Night Buses…then you probably won’t have any more problems than most other big cities.
The very cheapest areas to live in tend to be so for a reason, so it’s worth paying a bit more so you feel safe to move about when you need to.
Sites like Gumtree have accomodation forums where people post asking about certain districts.
