[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP needs to do her own homework to figure out if any particular college is a good fit or not. UR is great for some and not for others, just like any other college (yes, even Harvard is not for everyone). Asking a bunch of random strangers on the internet (some may be helpful but its almost impossible to tease out those with their own personal agenda), doesn't seem to me to be the best way to go about this process.[/quote]

And Visit!!! Our College counselor had a female kid get accepted and it was their top choice at that point.  So they toured on spring break.  As soon as they drove thru the 19th ward from the airport towards campus the father said Nope and kid is stuck attending a safety/large state U.  
Personally, that didn't bother me as I know that urban campuses are often like that, and I think UR is actually more isolated than say any campus in Boston that is integrated into the city.  My kid loves the campus itself and everything about it, academics, social aspect, cluster system, etc. 
It helps that their older sibling attend an urban campus/jesuit university in center of city with no boundaries between the campus and "society" (jesuit universities are typically located in some of the worst areas of a city---part of the mission to be in the area to help improve the area, etc). So in reality this is 1000x better IMO.  And in reality, no campus is truly safe----crime happens everywhere[/quote]
