[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hmmm, looks like Rochester is at least twice as bad as those "peer schools". [/quote]

You're either a liar or deeply stupid.

If you look at the current 2020 data on the ED website, and you look at the data for these four universities, and look at the "number per 1000 students" (because that's how incidence is calculated...), you'll find that:

for the criminal offense of rape, Cornell has the highest incidence, followed by Syracuse, followed by MIT, followed by Rochester
for the criminal offense of fondling, Rochester has the highest incidence, followed by Cornell, then Syracuse, then MIT.
for the criminal offense of statutory rape, all four have zero incidence.
for VAWA offenses, for domestic violence, Rochester has the highest incidence, followed by MIT, then Cornell, and zero for Syracuse
for VAWA/date violence, Cornell has the highest incidence, followed by Rochester, followed by Syracuse, and zero for MIT.
for VAWA/stalking, Rochester has the highest incidence, followed by Cornell, then MIT, then Syracuse.

Since you mention Columbia and Johns Hopkins as urban schools, if you compare Rochester to the two of them and also to Yale (another urban university in a not great city)
for criminal rape, Yale's incidence (per 1000 students) is highest, followed by Hopkins (#2), then Rochester (#3) then Columbia (#4)
for criminal fondling, Yale's incidence is highest, followed by Rochester (#2), then Hopkins (#3), then Columbia (#4)
for VAWA domestic violence, Rochester has the highest incidence of the four (followed by Hopkins at #2, Yale at #3 and Columbia at #4)
for VAWA dating violence, Yale has the highest incidence, followed by Rochester (#2) then Columbia at #3 and zero incidence at Hopkins
for VAWA stalking, Hopkins has the highest incidence, followed by Rochester at #2, then Yale at #3, then Columbia at #4.
(And fwiw, if you look at other crimes - robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft -- Rochester's incidence is by a significant margin the lowest of the four for each.)

You have asserted that the situation wrt women's safety is uniquelly poor at Rochester.    Violence against women is too high on most campuses, but the data don't bear that out it's markedly worse at Rochester, so you're just making stuff up and spreading disinformation.    If you look at peer schools -- you're welcome to come up with others, but it  seemed a mix of upstate and tech-heavy universities was kind of representative, and you added other urban schools which is valuable too if one has the time -- you'll see that Rochester doesn't consistently have a higher incidence of crimes against women than those other schools do (and further I've never seen people talk about Yale or Cornell on DCUM as campuses where women are at especially high risk of violence).

And frankly your disinformation builds on other disinformation earlier on this thread, with some other troll - perhaps it was you -- lamenting that crime is "so bad" in Rochester when in fact Rochester is notably safer than many other "peer" (because one needs a benchmark for comparison) metro areas and cities (whose safety is never mentioned as an issue in DCUM/college threads).

Rochester is an excellent university.   Like every college, it's not for everyone, and it's not going to accept everyone who applies either.   But people shouldn't be dissuaded from exploring it because a couple (or fewer) DCUM trolls are wrongly suggesting -- in a way that can be easily refuted by the data -- that it's a particular cesspool of crime or violence against women.
