[quote=Anonymous]Re USA:  from wikipedia.  No way I'm sending my child there.  Have you even driven from LAX to the campus recently?   Cute statement but I sincerely doubt the rioters had the students' "community service" in mind when they burned down Watts:  "Roughly half of the university's students volunteer in community-service programs in neighborhoods around campus and throughout Los Angeles. These outreach programs, as well as previous administrations' commitment to remaining in South Los Angeles amid widespread calls to move the campus following the 1965 Watts Riots, are credited for the safety of the university during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. (That the university emerged from the riots completely unscathed is all the more remarkable in light of the complete destruction of several strip malls in the area, including one just across Vermont Avenue from the campus's western security fence.) The ZIP code for USC is 90089 and the surrounding University Park community is 90007."

USC is only two exits off the freeway from Watts.  My car was torched in the parking lot when I taught there.  There are many other fine institutions to select from.[/quote]
