They discuss this specific issue: https://yourcollegeboundkid.com/2024/02/19/interview-170-gil-villanueva-on-understanding-rhodes-college/

Also, I would be sure to check with students at the school who are there currently.

Ridiculous interview. When asked about crime & safety, the Rhodes College administrator switches the conversation to "snow storms". Not kidding.

The area around Rhodes College is very dangerous. Near the Shelby Forest/Frayser section of Memphis which is the 4th most dangerous neighborhood in the entire US.

USC belongs on that list too. Palm trees don't mean it ain't hood.

I’m sure there are lots of schools that could be added to the list sadly.

Marquette
Johns Hopkins
UChicago

To name a few

Georgia Tech

I remember reading about a Rhodes student murdered a few years ago: https://wreg.com/news/manhunt-monday/search-continues-for-3-gunmen-who-killed-rhodes-college-student/. Obviously that's uncommon. But yes, I'd be worried about crime in the area.

With respect to Philly, Penn is in a much better part than Temple. A few Temple students have actually been murdered the past few years.

Penn's immediate surroundings aren't as bad as the other schools on that list. Just don't wander too far west after dark if you don't wanna get kilt.

Penn has put a TON of money on campus security, but yes dont head too west...however its way safer than temple

I'm not crackery. But I don't want to live somewhere where I'm constantly watching my back either. That doesn't sound like a fun college experience.

You sound crackery.

Hopkins undergrad is not in a dangerous area of Baltimore.

The dangerous area of Baltimore is called Baltimore.
