[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to all the VCU commentators! Very helpful and you are much appreciated. Thanks in advance to any additional posters![/quote]

My PT went to VCU.  She said it is a high crime area.  I was like "you mean thefts and stuff?"  She's like "no, drugs and murders."  She wasn't kidding.  My kid's college-parent-facebook group also speaks about VCU and CNU being schools where they are bad areas where living off campus would not be safe.  So, VCU and CNU should be looked at carefully in person, not just virtual visits.[/quote]

Stop with the hysteria please.  It’s not a “high crime” area - it’s an urban campus, that’s all.  Obviously street smarts are required.  So much pearl clutching![/quote]

If denial helps you sleep better at night...sure...

It's far higher crime rate thsn ither Va schools and 6th highest crime rate nationally for schools over 25,000 students.  Way to over achieve.[/quote]

First, there’s nothing in that article about murder.  Second, it says the University of Richmond has a higher crime rate, and that school is basically located in a leafy suburb and nowhere near a “sketchy” neighborhood.  So how does VCU’s location factor into things, then?  Oh, and I assume that when you say “sketchy” you are dog whistling, right?  [/quote]
