ODU unsafe?

<p>I hear a lot of bad things about the school...any thoughts?</p>

<p>The campus is actually pretty nice and reasonably safe for an urban school. Its the area on the south side of campus that is sketchy. Don’t do anything stupid like walk around the sketchy side by yourself at midnight, and dont buy drugs from gangstas and you’ll be fine. We used to skateboard on campus half the night and never had any issues. Its definitely an issue to be aware of off campus, but I still think its a much better environment than VCU (which I also looked at).</p>
