[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i dont see anything wrong with it
college is a big decision, kiddo is right for trying to keep options open
plus if the school is yale, no one wants to attend school in a shithole like new haven[/quote]

There's literally another thread where people claim no one wants to be in a rural location. New Haven is a great place to go to school for kids who like being in an urban setting. Why is it so hard to accept that different people want different things? That's why it's great that there are so many different colleges in so many different types of places. If one doesn't work for you, why the need to sling insults? [/quote]

Your chance of being a victim of violent crime in New Haven is 1 in 175 and property crime is 1 in 24.

With a crime rate of 39 per one thousand residents, New Haven has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities.

The 2020 crime rate in New Haven, CT is 386 (City-Data.com crime index), which is 1.5 times greater than the U.S. average. It was higher than in 93.2% U.S. cities.

At one point it was America's 4th dangerous city in terms of violent crimes per 1000 residents.

"insults" is funny to me. sometimes, the truth hurts. and the truth here is that Yale is unfortunately located in a terrible location. when my kiddo visited for YES scholars we walked out to our rental car's broken windows. thank god he got into other schools. no use sugarcoating it. if you go to school in new haven, prepare to be robbed.

I did go to school in New Haven thank you and I was never robbed. As in all cities some parts are much worse than others. And some people are just not comfortable in cities I guess you included. That’s ok but others feel differently. It was a great place to go to school. So many great restaurants, bars, things to do and easy to get to NY. I learned how to live in a city which was new for me at the time. New Haven was a great bridge to larger cities that I moved to after graduation. [/quote]
