I was truly sitting down to write this post when I read about the murder/suicide, so please don’t think I’m asking this just because of that incident. My husband’s family is expressing concern that we will be sending our daughter to UMCP because of “College Park not being a very safe area.” One of his sisters lives in suburban VA. We are OOS, and visited the campus twice. We didn’t feel unsafe or notice anything to be particularly concerned about, but we were not there at night. It seemed like the campus had quite a few safety measures. I don’t know that much about the surrounding area. I would love to hear some feedback.
