<p>Well this post was like a month ago, but...</p>
<p>Any area in Baltimore not too far from the harbor is safe, including Sonar, to the point where I definitely wouldn't be worried about walking around at night in the company of a couple friends. But go past Sonar closer to the heart of the city and then that's when you run into trouble...</p>
<p>Some parts of DC scare the crap out of me, though. Luckily UMD is in a suburb, /not/ in DC, so any rep it gets from the city is totally undeserved...in the city safe/not safe is determined by one or two blocks...UMD is, like, a good drive outside of the city, haha.</p>
<p>The Illinois Institute of Technology - one class building is less than a block from a high rise project, and there's nothing but projects for a good 12 blocks north. East has a very poor crime-filled neighborhood, but it is improving. West is what students perceive as safe - Bridgeport. It's a poor crime-filled neighborhood, but a poor crime-filled white neighborhood. I still know many people who were robbed or had apartments broken into in Bridgeport. The difference is that you'd walk around Bridgeport alone at 3PM, but not necessarily at 3AM. You wouldn't walk any other direction from IIT -ever-. South goes to more high rises and poor crime-filled areas.</p>
<p>Stay away.</p>
<p>Old Dominion, VCU</p>
<p>Youngstown State University
University of Michigan - Flint Campus</p>
<p>what about Brown University? The area seemed pretty nice when I visited, but I've already received a couple emails reporting armed robberies near campus, and I haven't even started school yet. Any idea how Providence compares to Minneapolis/St. Paul?, because I can handle the Twin Cities no problem</p>
<p>I hear Yale's in a bad location....and outside Columbia, it's a third world country.</p>
<p>I don't make it a point to make drastic suggestions but honeslty in this case I think i can make an acception. I think that every suburban person should be forced to take weekly visits to an urban area. I think it would help many societal issues including the automatic fear that many surburban college students seem to have about any place that is densely populated. If we're forced to understand their culture I think it's only right that they (at least try) to understand ours.</p>
<p>Crime stats for colleges - not necessarily the surrounding area.

<p>I recently did a campus visit and within the 45min time frame I saw 3 ambulances and 4 police cars with siren blaring. is U of Chicago in a really bad part of town or wsa all that just a coincidence?????</p>
<p>UChicago is in a great part of town - but the areas around it sucks a lot.</p>
<p>Want a bad area in Chicago, go visit IIT's ghetto project campus.</p>

<p>It's a global city man, what do you expect?</p>
<p>Dickinson....only because when I was there for a month I very frequently saw fire engines blaring at 2-3AM.</p>
<p>i 213rd USC. of the colleges i've ACTUALLY VISITED, and not just heard about, it's the worst in terms of location, but it's not ridiculously horrible. i mean, like i said, its the worst of all the other ones i've been to.</p>
<p>I dont go here, but I live by it....</p>
<p>University of detroit mercy</p>
<p>and wayne state, not that any out of state person would ever consider such a place</p>
<p>CSU-long beach is a pretty shady area. but not the top of the danger list. USC is not the best area of the city.</p>
<p>The University of Memphis makes any University in Detroit look like a Sunday school.</p>
