Would you downvote a school over being in an unsafe area?

If campus itself was otherwise very safe?

I properly would, as the parent. But I probably wouldn’t stop my child from going if they had their heart set. As unfair as this sounds, I would probably be more concerned for my daughter than my son.

No
Both of my kids attended colleges that were in urban areas next to "not so safe areas". It is fine, your kid just needs to be aware of this. In fact in some ways they are more aware of issues than kids on a suburban/rural campus, who "think it's safer" but isn't really.

Probably not.

I would rule out City college in NYC on this basis. Yes.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I would. But I also specifically went to a rural LAC to get away from the crime ridden city I grew up in.

I would.

Many schools cheat on their Cleary reporting of on-campus crime as required by the federal government.

Would probably help if you named the schools ? (Drexel ? Temple ? U Penn ?)

I would certainly count it as a negative. I don’t know if that would necessarily by itself change a position on a wish list, if that’s what you mean by “downvote.” The degree to which it’s a negative might depend a bit on the individual student.

Most high school kids around me spend time away from parents all over the DMV, including areas that have had plenty of crime over the years (Union Station, H Street, Chinatown, ect.). As long as they are smart and know risks generally, I'd be fine with an area that isn't as safe. I feel like most parents in this area have been over basic safety with their teens.

Hmmm, no cheating here. I guess I'd forgotten when I said campus was safe: they've had an issue with sexual assaults involving students. Just nothing spilling over from town is what is what meant.

And yes, we've had a conversation about this.

Not Bates. But really, do specifics matter?
