<p>Chicago, the school, really is quite safe, but I can definitely see where SBDad is coming from. I’m 19, so I’m immortal, but my parents still get anxious about my safety from time to time (especially when news like this breaks). I just tell them what everybody else has already said - that between the UCPD and having some street smarts I don’t ever feel unsafe. Still, I don’t blame parents for feeling a little uneasy about news like this.</p>
