<p>eh, stuff like this happens at all colleges. It's happened before at Cornell too (and there isn't any sort of ghetto in Ithaca).</p>

4

<p>It happens everywhere. This "Anarchy" guy is probably just an internet troll. Form your own opinions.</p>

5

<p>I agree threekids'kid, these types of incidents can happen at many schools. Kids just need to be aware of their surroundings and use common sense whereever they go.</p>

<p>Yeah, I mean because crime doesn't happen anywhere else in America. Better off keeping your D locked in her bedroom for safety.</p>

<p>I'm sure that there is NO crime at Princeton, Harvard, Duke, etc...(sarcasm)</p>

<p>no no of COURSE not!!! crime only happens here at syracuse for some reason. i mean never mind that there are people dying everywhere. syracuse is a dangerous ass city. i mean sure there are bigger cities. and NORMALLY that would mean more crime but...uh uh. syracuse man. u walk outside your dorm u get shot 5 times and u STILL gotta go to class. thats why i wear my vest.</p>

9

<p>u realize that neither student was hurt adn both happend after 10:30? and the second one happened cuz two kids were dumb enuff to walk up to an anonymous car?</p>

<p>its just rich shelterd white ppl who live in the suburbs and have nvr been in a situation where they need to worry about crime. Dumbasses get raped on myspace, idiots get robbed in college</p>

10

<p>Man, you were doing so well until you decided to make a fool of yourself.
Don't say stupid, ignorant things on College Confidential. This really isn't the place for it.</p>

11

<p>this is funny. what i meant was a "safety" school, as in not a "stretch" school, not about the crime scene, but thanks for the inside info on what it's like in syracuse.</p>
