Depends on where you live. You would be fine in Rockridge, Piedmont Blvd., the hills or Montclair and probably okay around Lakeshore, Chinatown, JLS and Fruitvale too. Outside of those areas I'd be careful. Lots of "Bay Area Residents" only know Oakland from the evening news, and have no idea about which areas are or aren't dangerous. You wouldn't be the first 20 year old female to live in Oakland alone, I promise you.

slightly foolish to live in oakland...i would go for another area in the bay ... actually any other area in the bay would be better...commuting is fairly easy and mostly painless ( you get used to the traffic) so if you are moving for a job I would still consider away from oakland

If you're going to live in Oakland...BUY A GUN!! or pepper spray! Try Alameda, it's right next to Oakland. I would only go to Oakland if I Absolutely HAD to!

Someone with your beauty should avoid it.

The whole city is very dangerous. Please live on the far outskirts if you have to be there.
