<p>There has been a lot of exaggeration going on here. When you visit the Homewood Campus, you will see that it is <em>NOT</em> a typical “city university” – it is a lovely, good-sized leafy campus set among some working-class neighborhoods, some of which are better than others. It is not in a crime-infested area; common sense and awareness is usually sufficient to avoid any problems when you’re out in the city away from the campus. I recommend you <em>do</em> visit over spring break and see for yourself.</p>
<p>The Doubletree Inn at the Colonnade is very comfortable and right across the street from the northern side of campus (University Parkway), very convenient. We stayed there last spring and were very happy with the accommodations.
