[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My godfather lived on Zion St (adjacent to campus) his whole life and when he was 72 he was mugged by his front steps and beaten to the point he was in a coma for weeks and never fully recovered. This was in 2006. I honestly don’t know if it’s better or worse in the area now. [/quote]

That's horrible. I guess my question is, what about Trinity appeals to students that they're still willing to risk this?

I know a bunch of kids who went there, and none of them ever had anything happen to them. The students probably know where they can go to stay safe. It's not as though you read in the papers about Trinity kids getting murdered or having the shit kicked out of them.[/quote]

Of course not. But like I said, even my child could tell it wasn't a safe area. [/quote]

Its the same reason Johns Hopkins is off our list. Terrible location. [/quote]

I went to Trinity. It is in a bad location - campus has always seemed safe, but even a block off campus can be very unsafe. As a result, the campus is very cloistered, which reinforces a lot of what is worst about the traditional Trinity student body.

I live adjacent to Johns Hopkins. It is in a very good location and quite safe. To say it is in a terrible location reflects either a misunderstanding of where the Homewood campus is located or a reflexive fear of cities that is not based in reality or data.[/quote]

I live in Los Angeles and come from London. I love cities. That part of Baltimore, which I visited many times as a patient at Hopkins was one of the most horrific things I've ever witnessed in terms of human depravity and poverty. [/quote]

Were you at the medical campus? Homewood is in another part of the city. There are much worse parts of Baltimore than Charles Village. Hell, there are much worse parts of DC than Charles Village.[/quote]
