<p>If this city exists in the confines of a “gun-free zone” it is very dangerous. Stay outside the city perimeter where gun rights are respected.</p>
<p>You’re looking at UNC Charlotte? I attended undergrad there… it’s totally fine. The campus is far from the actual city and is completely self-contained. </p>
<p>Now…it’s not like a small college town like IU Bloomington where I went to grad school and where you can walk all over at any time of night…but during the day it’s fine and as long as you stay on campus in a group at night and not too late you should be fine.</p>
<p>There were pretty common reports of girls getting targeted running alone at night for muggings and junk and I did have my side view mirror busted…but for the most part it’s very safe and the college isn’t actually “urban” like say… NC State or NYU or something.</p>
<p>I’m a native NYer and grew up in rather rough areas and live in Philly now for school. It mainly comes down to common sense and basic street smarts. </p>
<p>You’ll be fine if you remember your surroundings and take some basic precautions.</p>
