[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Evanston,

women students must deal with the predatory culture. “Survey show that experiences of sexual harassment and violence overwhelmingly affect undergraduate females.”

First, you're citing data that's almost seven years old (it's from a 2015 survey).  Second, the overwhelming effect on UG females you're referencing is compared to graduate males, graduate females and UG males on campus.  It has no relation whatsoever to overall rates of harassment and violence.

Second, you missed the whole point of that article which is that the University's Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault group is working to raise awareness and change the statistics.

FWIW, I liked Evanston.  I know nothing about Bethesda, and have seen only limited parts of College Park (mostly areas immediately adjacent to UMD) but the area of Evanston around NU is much nicer, IMO.  And I never felt unsafe during the two years I was there.[/quote]

Any time a university needs “Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault group“, you are off on the wrong foot. Why the hell does a university need a group like this?  And no, it’s not old news:

Uh, that's a nation-wide organization with chapters/affiliates/similar groups on campuses all across the country. You utter loser.[/quote]
