Mob Violence at Temple University

@californiaaa, my D attends The University of the Arts, which is in Center City, Philadelphia. UPenn is not too far. This is a relatively safe neighborhood, and I would not expect the mob violence Temple experienced to happen here. In fact, at freshman orientation and at other times, UArts students are cautioned about the area around Temple. They figure out (are told by upperclassmen, basically) where it is safe to go at Temple if they want to go there.

A good friend’s D attends Temple. She says they feel safe on campus and even immediately around it, and they live in a sheltered suburb.

I would think that Temple would be focusing more on safety and not the same or less as they were. Of course, if I had a child considering attending there, I’d ask what new measures are being done to address this issue.
