<p>ok... i asked b4 and ill ask again...is university of sciences in philly a good area? i mean cmon....help me out....im not tryin to get shot</p>
<p>I can't speak explicitly about USP, but I do go to Penn and I live in west phil - as far as I'm concerned it's fine. Like I said, I can't really speak for USP as it's a few blocks further south than I would normally go, but I've had no problems riding my bike around late at night, and I've never seen anything too scary. Part of the USP campus is right next to a public park, and there's probably some pretty weird stuff going on there at night, like there is in most unlit uninhabited areas in a city. Just keep your wits about you and it should be fine. If it's any consolation I see USP security guys patrolling all the time (as well as Penn cops and the city police), and there are always guards on foot outside the building next to the park.
Safety aside, I love being in this neighbourhood - the houses are gorgeous, Clark Park is cool (just not at 3am) and there are dozens of great cheap restaurants...come visit and see how you like it!</p>
