[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote] Might be harder to move than pick a college with a safe location. It’s not like there aren’t options. I have known families who picked certain highly ranked schools only later to feel they sorta sold out and endangered their kids by putting rank above safety and other interests. [/quote] This. Even if the school is in a safe area, it might be part of a larger city with not safe areas. Kids leave campus to go to bars, restaurants, other activities, etc. Criminal elements are attracted to campuses because they know college students are easy targets. [/quote]
