<p>Okay, I know I’m being a nervous parent-type here, but when I see advice like Halcykon’s, it makes me worry. The Broadway strip, which literally borders the campus, is okay, but if you go up Whalley or Goffe just a few blocks from there, you’re right where the murders occurred. Please don’t trust your sense of when the buildings around you are “getting seedier”. Figure out in advance what areas you should be avoiding, and avoid them. Don’t make your mother worry! :)</p>
