<p>Yeah, Northwestern is in a very safe area. It’s not in Chicago, but in the suburbs.</p>
<p>UChicago is a little sketchier, but not really in the direct neighborhood. It’s in Hyde Park, which is a VERY nice neighborhood, but go a few blocks south and you’ll get into some rougher areas. Chicago is pretty well separated into different districts though. The statistic that Chicago is one of the most dangerous cities in America, while true, is a bit misleading, because the city of Chicago is huge. There are VERY VERY upscale areas, and there are the slums, and everything in between. Most of the crime in Chicago is not taking place in areas like Hyde Park. UChicago is basically surround by upscale highrise condos and huge mini-mansion type houses.</p>
