[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a school is an unsafe, unhealthy environment for a woman then I would not send my son there either.  College is still a formative time and he will inevitably absorb a little bit of whatever culture there is at school, and I wouldn't want him in an environment where women are objectified or worse.  And, if it's unsafe for a woman, it's highly likely it's unsafe for a man too![/quote]

I sort of agree with regard to a culture that objectifies women, but when it comes to safety I'd be fine with my son in an urban low SES environment like Penn, USC, Chicago, but I would not want my daughter to be in an "urban fortress"  http://la.streetsblog.org/2013/01/15/how-far-is-too-far-fortress-usc-and-the-struggle-to-keep-students-safe/

As a freshman I worked near UPenn and honestly anyone male or female could get shot there. Crime doesn't discriminate.[/quote]

I'd never send either my son or daughter to Temple, Drexel or Penn.  Been there, felt unsafe.[/quote]
