[quote=Anonymous]I went to an inner-city university (with a pretty wealthy/homogenous student body) on the edges of a neighborhood that had a lot of crime (and now, 20+ years later, is rapidly gentrifying, which makes me LOL remembering how it used to be). I actually think it's safer being in that kind of environment because it's drummed into you the risks of walking alone, not being aware of surroundings, etc. I know safety is emphasized at all colleges, but at my school it was truly a matter of life and death. You think of bucolic campus settings like UVA and it just isn't as obvious that there's crime in every corner. It reminds me of people who buy houses on a cul de sac who say it's safer for their kids than being on a busy street. But you know what? If you live on a busy street you learn pretty quickly that you don't play in traffic, that you can't assume that a car is going to stop if your ball goes in the road, etc.[/quote]
