<p>When I visited Yale, I never felt unsafe. It really didn’t even occur to me that safety would be much of an issue. The same goes for Brown. I actually thought Providence was a very nice town. </p>
<p>In the interests of disclosure, I grew up in 2 major urban areas so taking safety precautions is truly second nature to me. If your parents are worried, maybe you can show them the safety statistics at Yale and Brown. Sometimes, facts can reassure people and alleviate their fears of the unknown.</p>
