I think safety in Gieten is very poor, many young people are very antisocial. I don't dare go out alone (as a girl) in the evening/night. The community is unsociable, arguments break out quickly and the youngsters are terribly antisocial. There are hardly any facilities, there is nothing for young people to do. There are a few shops and 1 snack bar & 2 pizzerias. Accessibility is fine in itself, you can easily get to public transport by bus. By car it's even easier. Education is very extensive for 1 village. There are 2 primary schools, 2 childcare centres and 1 secondary school.
