[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, sorry I forgot to address the "ghetto" comment. I don't consider any school "ghetto," but some are definitely near rough neighborhoods (ie Temple, UPenn, Duke, GW, Marquette, UChicago, Fordham) which I usually split into people struggling in public assisted living vs working class vs homeless people with mental health issue. However, my DC at UVA learned there's plenty of crime in Charlottesville and her friend at VT had their laptop and backpack stolen from the library and reports quite a few situations with roofies. A friend at Dartmouth had her Canada Goose jacket stolen at a frat party. So safety is relative and crime is everywhere. OP, your child's perspective will be shaped by their level of awareness and experience in different surroundings. [/quote]

While there are homeless people around GW, as a grad I am unaware of any sketchy neighborhoods in the vicinity. They simply don’t exist.[/quote]There are no longer homeless people around GWU, the State Dept, or the Kennedy Center that is one great thing that occurred in the last year.  It’s all cleaned up. No more tents. Gone.  [/quote]

Where did they go[/quote]
