The case could also be made for USC (South L.A.)


In 1992, not now

USC has a Trader Joe's next to it now The whole area north of campus to the Staples is largely gentrified.

It’s 100% Temple. I stayed at the Le Meridian hotel right near city hall a few years back. Hotel check in told me to walk straight out the front door and go toward city hall. The express instruction was to not turn left and try to walk toward Temple because it was dangerous.

I’ve never gotten an instruction like that unsolicited when checking into a pretty nice hotel that is right in the middle of a pretty populated area.

lol university of chicago is not dangerous at all. Don't let the name fool you. Im guessing you never been to Hyde Park. Too much money and rich people for it to be dangerous.

The area didn't look that bad when I drove by the area 2 weeks ago. The city decided to build a pro soccer stadium next door, so it can't be too bad now.

There have been quite a few U of Chicago students murdered over the years. Usually a foreign student that wanders into an area they shouldn’t but they don’t know any better.

Why as a Country do we accept this shite? Ghetto culture needs to be rooted out and destroyed. It's absurd we just act like this is normal that colleges have to deal with this shite right next door

More students die from drunk driving and drug overdoses...not violent near-campus crime.

The "ghetto culture" is from the students themselves.

Just make sure you're getting off from that Green Line stop and not the 63rd Street Red Line stop. (Or better yet, take the Metra instead.) Not a great walk from the Red Line to campus.

This website seems to indicate OSU is the least safe statistically followed closely by Michigan (site is intended to show safest but you can sort on any column to get least safe)

Take a look at Trinity, a liberal arts college in Hartford, CT. Took my daughter on a college trip there, and 5 minutes in I told her there was no way she was going there.

I’d take strong guesses at Lamar or Winston-Salem State.

It wasn't great. Definitely kind of shitty and dirty. Good pizza though.

Students shouldn't have to worry about getting robbed or mugged if they wander off campus. Why colleges don't root that shite out is beyond me. It's an abomination

Just because drunk driving is a problem doesn't mean we should overlook these thugs pieces of shits like it's no big deal

yeah it's the students around LSU commiting all the robberies and murder

You travel two blocks the wrong way from the borders of campus and you are in maybe the most dangerous group of neighborhoods in the entire country.

So kind of but also kind of not

But that's Chicago. Crossing a street can mean entering a parallel universe

Prob in New Orleans or NY or Chicago

Not that walking into your classroom is unsafe it’s just unsafe to live in those cities.
