There is this illusion of ‘safe’ college town in Cambridge. I think this is the different feel that Harvard and MIT have, as opposed to Penn or USC which are located surrounded by the tough neighborhood. This may contribute to the Harvard’s large number of sexual crimes. . Penn and USC students ‘know’ to be careful about the town.
