Columbia University
Many prospective students and their parents still worry about New Yorks crime rate.
But the campus is safer than one would think. Says one student, I feel extremely safe. I have no problem walking home with my laptop at two oclock in the morning. Many people here from Berkeley and U. Penn, two real slums, say there is no comparison. Columbia has its own security squad. [Note: Harvard and Penn use contract security.]
University of Chicago The universitys Hyde Park neighborhood
has seen better days. Still, the campus itself and its immediate environs are fairly safe and patrolled frequently by university police.
Violent crimes on campus are very rarezero in a typical year. Students who are alert have little to fear.
Yale University New Haven was once regarded by many Yalies as the worst aspect of life at Yale. But things are changing for the better.
Boarded-up rowhouses a few blocks from campus are gradually being bought up, renovated, and rented to wealthy students. Many Yale students volunteer their time
to do what they can to improve New Havens housing. By far the most common crime on campus is burglary, with forty-two reported in 2002,
down from sixty-five the previous year.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology The campus is fairly safe, though it lies in the middle of an urban area.
Harvard University [Limited to paraphrases of material from official university publications.]
University of Pennsylvania Those students who stay on campus face limited choices. Says one student, The high rises arent the best places to live.
The [Allied-Barton] guards arent very friendly, and the fire alarms go off at all times at all hours.
Crime is a problem. West Philadelphia isnt the posh suburban neighborhood that most students grew up in, and you cant wander around drunk at 3 a.m. and expect to be safe, says one woman.
