<p>“So your experience is really what you make of it.” </p>
<p>I’d certainly agree. That said, I know two people who transferred into CC as sophomores and really hit the ground running - joining clubs/activities. They’re having a great time here and, provided you’re willing to put yourself out there, you will, too.</p>
<p>All that said, as a native Philadelphian, I’m glad that I decided to go to school in a much safer city. Morningside Heights isn’t without it’s problems - any place with tens of thousands of students will always attract unsavory stuff - but Philadelphia, including University City, seems to be losing its struggle with violent crime. New York City crime stats, on the other hand, seem to be hovering at all-time lows.</p>
