<p>Aren’t you at Hopkins? Baltimore? Are you serious…?</p>
<p>My friend at Hopkins complains about the ghetto much more than my current friend at Chicago. Yes, it’s there. But honestly, any big city including Philly have those problems. Columbia, for example with it’s proximity to Harlem.</p>
<p>The key is to be smart in all these cities. I would never give up an opportunity to go to a school with such awesome city exploration possibilities just because one side of it is next to the “south side.” There is so much to do and see in Chicago.</p>
