But even then you're talking petty and property ( cars) crime and even that is way down since car stereo are not as big a thing anymore. Area is pretty safe overall.

UC San Diego more dangerous than USC is one of the most absurd things I've ever seen. UCSD is in La Jolla, one of the most expensive zip codes in the US. Meanwhile USC is in North Compton

There is no way this is accurate. Tech is in downtown Atlanta. It is a total warzone.

Based on what? I thought A&M was pretty safe


Pretty sure they’re the rape capital as well. Seriously.

Iowa with all the white fans and hospital kids is surprising.


Iowa City is not dangerous at all. Don't know how they make the list, which makes this list suspect.

Looking at various websites, Tulane is consistently in the 30-40 range.

A little research and it’s based off of the Clery Act. The Clery Act organizes campus incidents into several categories, including criminal offenses (such as burglary, assault, motor vehicle theft, etc.), VAWA offenses (dating violence, domestic violence, and stalking), and hate crimes (offenses motivated by bias).

Was about to guess this is the type stuff it was likely based on. Not about the turn but reported incidents on campus.

UCLA & USC isn't surprising. In L.A. and they are located in a not so great part of town right?

I looked up crime in Boulder, Co.. I got this.

quote:

Boulder, Colorado has a relatively high crime rate compared to other communities, with a total crime rate of 34 per 1,000 residents. The chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime is 1 in 301, while property crime is more common, with a chance of 1 in 32


For Deion it has to be much safer than Jackson St

This has been posted before and is absurd.

The list is COMPLETELY about how crimes are reported/catagorized and has NOTHING to do with whether the campus is "dangerous."

Campuses like UC-San Diego are on this list because a student making fun another's accent counts as a "reported hate crime" when the campus is a park-like wonderland filled with upper middle class overachievers right on the Pacific coast and surrounded on all other sides by one of the richest neighborhoods in the world.

It's amazing how much this board just slings ignorance.

AFAIK, he hasn’t gotten robbed by school employees at CU. Can’t say that about JSU during his time there.

UCLA is adjacent to Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Brentwood, upscale as it gets. Years ago, an Asian female student was shot and killed by a stray bullet in a gang shootout in Westwood Village. It made the national news. Her family was devastated.

Surprised to see a few schools on that list I would not have even thought about.
