My kid was talking about applying to UC, after looking at the stats of violence on campus, it came off the list. Perhaps, some parents/kids are willing to take the risk of being a victim but other parents/kids will make the call that there are many colleges where crime isn’t as much of an issue.
Sounds like they have a good police force in place. But also sounds like that are an oasis, surrounded by a very violent city.
You would think the University would work hard to maintain a police force that protects their “clients”, the students.
Seems like this is an issue for many top schools. And given the current climate, I think it’s likely to get much more dangerous for all.
