Bad College Towns

<p>

</p>

<p>wow, that’s insulting…I live right near Nova. Terrible area? Nova is one of the wealthiest places in the country…</p>

<p>i gotta say that Orlando was the best UFC,Full Sail,FAMU</p>

<p>ummmm FA&M is in Tallahassee…</p>

<p>I liked New Haven. Just don’t go too far west.</p>

<p>I love Tallahassee. I’d move there in a New York second.</p>

<p>“Poughkeepsie” pronounce it: “ka-POOP-see”</p>

<p>Given how nice Vassar is, it’s a shame about Poughkeepsie, but I agree, thumbs down</p>

<p>uchicago is pretty bad</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Sadly, I agree…at least for the section of Worcester that Clark happens to be located in. My D was accepted there with a nice scholarship, but I think that the location was a significant factor in why it wasn’t really in the running for her when it came time to make a decision. I still think that the school, itself, is very good.</p>

<p>Also, I agree with whoever mentioned Trinity College…although the campus, itself, is very attractive.</p>

<p>Any college in Illinois that isn’t located in Chicago.</p>

<p>Vasaar -Poughkeepsie
Union - Schenectedy (sp?)
SUNY schools have the dreariest settings and towns on earth
Trinity - Hartford
Stevens - Hoboken
Penn</p>

<p>Willow, you really can’t say that Penn is in a bad college town. West Philly may not be the safest place, but it has a lot of culture and things to do.</p>

<p>Penn is for the most part, in a nice area. Everyone just flips because ■■■■ minoriteez liv neer heer!!! seriously, you’re not going to be the victim of a driveby or anything unless you’re an idiot.</p>

<p>Poughkeepsie is a craphole. Townies hassled me and my dad because they thought we were a gay couple. That was enough to knock Vassar a ways down on my list…</p>

<p>I couldn’t agree with you more about SUNY college towns. However, in fairness, New Paltz is a pretty nice town and within a reasonable distance of NYC. I also used to enjoy visiting Buffalo when I was in college, although you do need a high tolerance for the cold and snow.</p>

Dude… <a href=“http://www.newhavencrimelog.org/[/url]”>http://www.newhavencrimelog.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>SUNY Plattsburgh - that town is a dump, and it has no nice lakeside like Burlington. U Vermont at Burlington is really nice though</p>

<p>binghamton was one of the more depressing places i’ve seen</p>

<p>SUNY Binghamton is surrounded by a chain link fence. It is on a four lane highway with a row of fast food restaurants on the other side. You know, I don’t want to be a snob for “hill top colleges”, but when all of that money was being spent to create the SUNY system in the 50s-60s, couldn’t they have devised something a bit more pleasant? Environment has an impact on students’ and the public’s attitudes toward an institution.</p>

<p>ledzep- that link was actually great (i dont know if you were intending to show how ‘bad’ new haven is), because it proves that 95% of crime in new haven occurs on the outskirts of town, nowhere near the yale campus.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, that’s the answer. I could leave the rapidly growing, unique, and fun city of Morgantown to hang out with a bunch of dumbass Yinzers up in Pittsburgh. Maybe I’ll get robbed in McKeesport, too. Brilliant. </p>

<p>I’ll stick to Morgantown, thanks…</p>

<p>That’s too bad about Poughkeepsie… to think it hassled you and your dad because they thought you were gay, Ferris, while Vassar and all its gay glory is right next door.</p>

<p>Nobody really knows about Oregon colleges (except for maybe Reed, which is in the greatest city on Earth), but I can assure you that U of O, OSU, Western Oregon, Southern Oregon, Eastern Oregon, Central Oregon, and practically every other public university in Oregon is located in some sort of suburban accident.</p>
