[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visited U. Chicago with current junior DC last spring and we loved it - it was beautiful, students seemed happy, etc.  But we don't know Chicago that well.  Then, we learned about these news stories about crime in the area:

https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/university-of-chicago-student-fights-off-armed-robber/3414685/

Does this not scare you as a parent?  I don't think my kid is as tough of the girl who fought off the armed robber, but I'm sure that I would not have done that myself and my kid has lived in a leafy suburb her whole life.

I'm genuinely wondering whether I'm the only parent who has real concerns about allowing their child to attend UChicago.

I do. But when your child who is a young adult has told you that they have thought about their decision, understand the risks and have decided that it is the place where they will thrive, you respect that  autonomy they have over themselves.

We are not less concerned about our kids just because we send them there so wonder no more.[/quote]
