[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students absolutely cannot live off campus at Rhodes.

A Rhodes college student, Drew Rainer, was murdered in 2021 living just off campus with 4 other Rhodes College students. His girlfriend was shot in the hand.

People on this forum may try to sugarcoat it, but Rhodes is located right in the middle of one of the worst urban crime areas in the United States.

Worrying about crime- if not being an actual victim of it- will be a significant part of your child's experience there.

A PP, I'm not sugarcoating it. I would tell my DD not to leave campus at night and I wouldn't let her live off campus. The majority of students I knew were extremely cautious about leaving campus at night, even during the day going into unfamiliar neighborhoods or known dangerous areas, and no one ventured into the surrounding neighborhood by foot.[/quote]

They have a nationally-ranked mock trial program - the campus is lovely, but even the school tells you to be extremely cautious going off campus.  Memphis has a sky-high murder/homicide rate - https://www.memphisflyer.com/homicide-capital-maybe; https://www.security.org/resources/most-dangerous-cities/[/quote]
