My son is a freshman at Yale and, like you, he had many reservations about the safety of New Haven. Even though he was raised in New York City and started riding the subways by himself at the beginning of 6th grade, he had read many stories about the rough and tumble nature of the city. This year, he has been pleasantly surprised by how much he likes New Haven – at least the area surrounding campus. See: [UP CLOSE | Building the ?new?

I agree with Hunt. Take the ‘safety issue’ out of the equation and what is your gut telling you?
