<p>I know the campus at Johns Hopkins is safe. But what about outside. People seem to be avoiding that issue because I don't think they want to tell me the trugth that it can be dangerous.</p>
<p>any thoughts?</p>
<p>Take a look at the thread Berurah started about Duke vs JHU. Many posts regarding JHU safety from knowledgeable parents there.</p>
<p>Thanks....i just started reading her thread. two unsolved murders at the upper class off campus housing. Hum.............</p>
<p>The Jan. 2005 murder of Linda Trinh has been solved and there is a suspect arrested and held without bond.</p>
<p>The other murder a year ago occurred in a frat house after a big party, and the house door was left unlocked. It is still unsolved.</p>
<p>I lived in Charles Village for 3 years while a JHU student and had no problems. There is crime in any city, and many colleges are in cities. One should always be alert and use common sense when in a city, and usually this will be sufficient to avoid problems.</p>
<p>You'll find a post about current security efforts from a JHU Security officer here: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=451284&postcount=75%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showpost.php?p=451284&postcount=75</a></p>
