Could I honestly die?

I am considering coming to UCF for the PhD program…

So I started doing some research on the apartments near town. Not only can I not find an apartment within convenient walking distance (less than a mile) for the school, I keep seeing “my car was stolen”, “my door was kicked down”, “I do not walk to my car alone”, “my motorcycle was stolen 3 times”… crap in every single apartment complexes reviews. Even the damn 1000$ a month 1bed/1bath places 4 miles from campus w/ double security gates w/ guards…

What is the deal… Exaggeration?

BTW, who is committing the crimes? College students, or the bums/‘ghetto types’ from the city?

If I decide to come here, should I buy a teaser or something…

I am going to try and get a 2bed/2bath out in that Oviedo area or w/e it’s called w/ one of the graduate students. Place with security system, and security guard. Should I get one with a garage (I have a Chevy corvette Z06 ~80k new… a car the black community seem to really like =(…) I can easily keep it from getting stolen, but keeping it from getting keyed or the windows smashed by some jealous frat boy or thug 50 cent wannabe.

Any advice?
