Sorry typo in the middle, there, the Freshman housing is bound by Juniper St., Hazel Street and 115th Street.
Its all in a tight group, with the post office, cafeteria and student printing center grouped together. The football field
two baseball fiends, and a workout Rec center are all in this area. The Viele Recreation Center is further south. East Cleveland starts far east of 120th, but its separated by a train there so not really a place people wander back and forth.
Little Italy bound by Mayfield, Murray Hill Road and on the other side of the train tracks, but its
very accessible and I stayed in a B&B on the corner of Cornell and Murray Hill and was able
to walk to the freshman dorms with no issues. So students going back and forth to Little Italy are safe I believe.
I hope that makes it more clear. I don’t feel there is a lot of danger unless a student is wandering
after midnight alone, but with Greenie Buses should not need to do that at all.
You can search on crime stats in Cleveland and locate CWRU to understand how close it is to higher crime areas.
As I said, 55th Street is more poor, but its not close to campus. You could choose to drive through that way,
but you can also take Carnegie St or Chester Street from one of the Freeways and avoid 55th Street.
University Circle is the name of the CWRU neighborhood to search on.
