<p>The campus is located in a bad area. Grady Memorial Hospital, underground Atlanta and two MARTA stations line campus. Since it’s a commuter school, it gets quiet after dark. This is a really sad story. However, GSU has one of the largest campus police departments in the state(for this very same reason)</p>
<p>Crime on college campuses is nothing new. However, usually we hear about someone getting into trouble past 2 am. It’s tragic that students aren’t safe even in the dorms. Last I heard, the GSU Commons beefed up security due to TV sets being stolen from their common areas, and yet this still happened. </p>
<p>There have been several deaths by arms of GSU students in the recent years.</p>
<p>In 2010…

<p>In 2012…

<p>And then a GSU student’s car was stolen:

<p>Then there was the robbery spree:

<p>Then there was this beating story, although the article doesn’t state is the apartment/dorm was found on campus or elsewhere in Atlanta

<p>I would be careful and carry yourself well on campus.</p>
