I live in New Haven. It is safe. I walk around on the streets at night alone. I’ve never been murdered. You have to take into account that New Haven is much larger than just the Yale campus. The area in which most Yale students spend their time is downtown New Haven and the nicer areas, not the various ghettos and poorer areas surrounding it. And New Haven people are not ‘predatory’ towards Yale students. Most of them embrace the institution. When statistics for crime in New Haven are complied, it is for the entire city, not just the Yale campus and areas through which students are most likely to travel. New Haven is safe, stop arguing.
