[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]

I think you need to different between VCU and CNU here.  VCU is in the middle of Richmond and directly borders/adjoins a sketchy area.  (Please note I am NOT saying VCU isn't safe - you just have to take some sensible precautions.)  As for CNU, there are indeed some sketchy areas of Newport News, but CNU does NOT adjoin any of those areas and there's no reason a student would live there.  In fact, there is a country club that borders part of the school. [/quote]

CNU is not in a bad area of Newport News. Now, Old Dominion University on the other hand... Better look up that crime data and be aware![/quote]
