[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, because all cities are dangerous hotbeds of crime! A rather provincial, close-minded outlook, no?

Quite literally every college, university, art school has campus security, key card-protected doors and receptionists in every building and residence hall, etc. And in urban areas, your child is most certainly within closer proximity to police and emergency responders.

But if your DC shares such a pessimistic view of urban areas and general closemindedness, perhaps they're not ready for art school[/quote]

I went to the art institute of Chicago. There was no "campus security." We were on our own. I lived in the city, in my own apartment and took the train to school. With your big girl view of life, you should know that living in a city is not always easy or safe, especially for some young women. I was followed home once and almost raped. Thank God my roommates were home.

No need to try to make fun of OP, especially since you seem clueless yourself.[/quote]

I'm sorry you were nearly raped.  Sincerely.
At the same time, there is not a rich suburban high school on the planet that doesn't have MANY students raped each year.  The area by SAIC is as safe or safer than any burb.  It's downtown Chicago.  It's not Garfield Park or Englewood.[/quote]
