I think the OP’s title about the “Crime Wave” is a bit overblown. Clery Act rules require the college inform its students. (note in today’s headlines about the President of Eastern Michigan Univ who was fired for covering details about a murder/rape in the dorms).

I was in New Haven in more depressed economic times and crime was a concern like any urban setting. However coming from an urban environment already, I understood the risky behaviors to avoid.

One thing I appreciated was that I was connected with the real world vs. being cloistered in an Ivory Tower.
