We are not comparing which colleges nationwide are located in the sketchiest places…we are comparing two schools as requested by the OP. Just because Clark isn’t THE most dangerous school (or even one of the most dangerous schools) doesn’t mean safety shouldn’t be considered when comparing these or any two schools. While I didn’t forbid my daughter to apply to ClarkU, I did not allow her to apply to her #1 choice (Trinity in Hartford) due to an unsafe neighborhood. And I agree with another poster that the buildings are run-down, somewhat dirty, and certainly in need of updating.
@wisteria100, sorry you take offense, is it the term hoodlum? Okay, let me rephrase: high school aged males, pants hanging off their butts, dirty black hoodies, unshaven, smoking cigarettes or weed not sure, congregating in such a way as to block entrance into the store, during school hours (hmmmm). Maybe not the true definition of hoodlum (someone who engages in crime and violence) but certainly someone who presents themselves that way.
This thread is getting off topic and I apologize to the OP. I wish you the best in your decision, there are so many schools out there and so many different aspects to consider when choosing.
