gms5287,
Have you visited Hartt SOM? Larger cities always have high rates of crime. Philadelphia is now called killadelphia. There are many prestigious schools located in inner cities with high crime rates.
And as far as Tallahassee and FSU, I certainly wouldn't consider that a dump. In fact, it was one of the prettiest towns I've visited in recent years. We just visited last week and we thought the campus was immaculate. Tallahassee appeared to be a great college town. Here in Chicago, Univ. of Chicago is in a dangerous area (muggings plus worse) and Northwestern CAN be a marginal area (Evanston) with both unsafe to walk alone at night. So it all goes with the territory.
