diontechristmas - I thought you were kidding, but I will give you a serious answer. The point is that people have a perception of New Orleans as being perhaps the most dangerous city in America, especially after all the misleading (and as was later shown to be the case, outright false) reporting after Katrina. So this is just to put things in perspective. There have been a few threads on here from concerned parents about their child's safety at Tulane, and understandably so. We have often pointed out that Tulane is in a really nice area, that they can see crime stats for the Tulane and immediately surrounding area on the TU website, etc. etc. Benetode's post and my addendum reinforces all that, and brings some needed perspective.
