You are going to be told that you have to have city-smarts there as in any other city. That the Bronx as a whole has some very nice sections your parents would love to live in, and some areas that they certainly would not, and quite a lot of in-between.

You mean the neighborhood right around Fordham. We drove around there the last time we visited, and I was not charmed by some of the streets. I would not suggest to my D she walk around there alone at night. But I am not suggesting she walk around alone at night at any of the univversities to which she applied.

On the other hand, the Metro stop is across the street from the Univ & there is plenty of great stuff for college kids in that borough just to the south of the Bronx.
