<p>Well, HARVARD-LAW-VIOLIN,</p>

<p>You are either: a ■■■■■, a harvard snob, or the even bigger idiot that desires to be one.</p>

<p>Just about he only people that get into trouble in new haven are people that walk alone in shady areas by themselves late at night, or are out wandering around by themselves drunk late at night. And then usually they have their wallet taken, or in the worst case scenario, are punched then have their wallet taken. According to compiled statistics from 2004, yale had fewer incidents than harvard in all categories except one.

<p>Thanks so much for that. Not very nice of you though. I ask an innocent question, no need to insult me on my question. Sorry but statistics from 5 years ago aren’t really helpful now, although the information is interesting. </p>

<p>Oh, and by the way, I am not a Harvard snob, or anything to that effect, nor an idiot, nore a ■■■■■, which is completly unrealistic.</p>

23

<p>So if you’re a city person (and not a ■■■■■) what is the point of all of this? New Haven is no worse than any city out there including Cambridge. In fact, Harvard kids tend to do the Boston area which can be much more unpredictable than the campus life. No offense, but let’s be real about this.</p>

24

<p>I just heard there was a lot of crime in that area and wanted to wonder. Is there anything wrong with that?</p>

25

<p>I thought it was a perfectly reasonable thread. I think the word “harvard” in your handle may have leapt out.</p>

26

<p>Can you explain what you said, Lergnom, when you said harvard in your handle may have lept out? In fact, I am going right now to ask the same question on the Harvard forum about Cambrige.</p>

27

<p>I meant that sometimes kids post stuff that’s to incite a riot and the word harvard might be a sign. That’s why you were called a ■■■■■, etc. But it wasn’t deserved. </p>

<p>The answer for Cambridge is about the same. It’s safe unless you live off campus and then it’s mostly late at night, in certain neighborhoods, or its random.</p>
