Deciding between BSN program on probation vs. new program with no graduates/NCLEX history

I think I’d choose Hofstra, solely due to location. I really have no knowledge about the safety of Hofstra’s location, but I do know that the Temple Medical Center campus (where I assume nursing students do most clinicals) is in a very bad neighborhood in North Philadelphia. I’m sure Temple nursing students get lots of experience in trauma care (gunshot wounds, drug overdoses, etc.) but it wouldn’t be my choice.
