<p>I have been living in Philadelphia for the past three years, and before that I spent most of my life living in the suburbs, so city life is relatively new to me as well. That said, I adjusted fairly quickly and Philadelphia isn’t as scary as people think it would be. You just have to use your best judgment. Have a sense of which areas to stay away from, which streets you can walk at night, cross the street when you see multiple hooded guys walking towards you, if someone says or tries to do something to you look straight and keep walking, etc. You should really be fine. </p>
<p>I feel that Temple’s campus is relatively safe. Obviously you don’t want to walk there at night 'cause there are some homeless people wandering around. The most that has ever happened to me is some guy tried to make me exchange my two dollars for his token and I just did it to avoid trouble.</p>
