Michigan State makes sense. Lansing has major issues.

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.

There is no neighborhood in walking distance of the University of Chicago that has any danger to anyone walking alone.

One was murdered on the CTA train between the loop and U of Chicago last year.

It’s an amazing university and it’s gorgeous on campus. But it’s extremely close to some of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago.

Have you ever been there? That area is pretty nice lol.

Coral Gables is nice for sure. Dude probably heard the old Orange Bowl was in the ghetto and didn’t realize it was a way off campus stadium.

Washington Park is number one or two every year of most dangerous neighborhoods and it runs exactly into the edge of campus

Seriously?

Edit: typed in Washington park. Multiple shootings in the last day lol

I’d guess the downtown-urban colleges may be the most dangerous. Boston University is an open campus near the baseball stadium. University of Illinois in Chicago has kind of Planet of the Apes architecture downtown. Loyola in Chicago is very urban. The colleges with insulated campuses are generally safer. LSU is generally safe despite the “Dear Facebook” hysteria crap this year.

Always heard the area around Fresno State is hard. But maybe just the gang association with the mascot makes it seem worse.


The neighborhood you’re talking about is called Sin City. There are way worse parts of town as you go south a few miles.

Why as a Country do we accept this shite?


Because of our roots in slavery, we’ve allowed as reparations the minority to define anything they chose as slavery.

Thus pointing out the race of the perpetrator, or simply the facts about black crime in America to some is a racist act.

It’s going to get worse before better, likely culminating in some form of another civil war or America imploding internally. We aren’t in any way on a sustainable path.

Belhaven the students don’t walk around at night. At night it’s like a ghost town. They know what’s up. Millsaps is close by and is on West Street. You don’t even drive down West Street at night if you’re smart

Nobody reports crime in Jackson so it doesn’t show here, but the overwhelming number one has to be Jackson State.


It’s actually Marquette, UCLA, and UAB per Google search statistics.

Police don’t respond anyways. People have no idea how bad Jackson is.

The jail in Jackson has broken windows. The inmates escape all the time. The doors to their cells don’t even lock.

I talk to Hinds County Sheriff’s deputies and they say when an inmate escapes they don’t even sweat it because the dudes almost always just go home and sit on their couch and wait to get picked back up

I don't have date to say it is the most dangerous.

But Georgia State is directly in downtown Atlanta. It's like they don't even have a campus, just different school buildings in the same general area. There is really nothing that separates the city from the campus. Most buildings almost anyone can walk in

I could not in good faith send my child to that school. You walk to class, and you have to pass by 10 different homeless people. Girls have to worry about constantly being harassed by random men just trying to walk around campus.

Yup, that's BSC. And the giant fence is absolutely needed for that area

I don’t know about the main part of campus, but John’s Hopkins hospital/Shock Trauma is not a good area.

A lot of training hospitals are in bad areas…bad areas tend to produce more trauma patients for med students to learn
