safety at RPI

I don’t think any campus can claim complete safety, all students need to learn to be street wise. There was a recent stabbing at Cornell, a student held up by gun point at CMU. There’s crime in Troy and campus crimes are posted obviously in the hallways to publicize any events. Doesn’t seem to be any hidden crime waves. Some parts of Troy are better left avoided, others are quite nice, other are plain normal or just not rich. My son is in Blittman this year, the former hotel. It seems fine in the area and a very spacious dorm with great food. Off campus depends on the landlord, location and what you are willing to pay. We ended up buying an off campus house since we’ll have two kids two years apart. It was good retirement diversification and they’ll each get to use it two years.
