Is JHU in a bad area?

<p>It’s not the <em>safest</em> area; people are generally advised to stay within, like, a five-block radius of campus. Within two-three blocks, as well as on campus, there are security guards everywhere. Outside of that radius, you’ll be OK as long as you’re not walking late at night and by yourself. There’s nowhere to really go after that either unless you’re taking a trip somewhere; most of the housing is close, as are all the stores and restaurants. You can also use taxis, the JHMI (free bus), and the Blue Jay Shuttle to get rides if you’re stranded somewhere.</p>
