<p>Looks pretty interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol…</p>
<p>It’s true, in my opinion. I thought I was going to get shot when I was in New Haven.</p>

<p>New Haven is not even that bad it is a city with crime like every other city in America. For someone who says they go to Georgetown which is located in the Murder Capitol of the US (DC) and was worried about getting shot in New Haven is amusing to me.</p>
<p>im a very petite white girl and i find new haven quite safe. it depends where you go, like any city, but the yale area is perfectly fine, and i laugh at those who shudder at the thought of new haven.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re kidding, right? Have you even visited Georgetown? They don’t call DC the marshmellow-chocolate cake for nothing – not to be racist or anything, it’s a common saying.</p>
<p>The N word is a common saying in some places too, is that not racist?
Anyways, DC is the murder capitol of the US, I don’t care how safe you feel at Georgetown because there is a lot more crimes committed there than in New Haven. If anything, you should feel like you are going to get shot when you go to DC and less so in New Haven.</p>
<p>There is a crime problem in New Haven, I will not deny it, but I doubt you can name many cities without a crime problem.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Would you care to provide some substantiation for the claim that Georgetown has more crime than New Haven?</p>
<p>Now let us not conflate Georgetown into D.C. We might technically be in the same city, but Georgetown is definitely in an area of its own, an area that is much safer in comparison with other parts.</p>
<p>Also, we cannot compare New Haven to D.C. simply because the latter is significantly larger, and it seems almost inevitable that there should be more crime in proportion to its size. What we need to do is compare the concentration of crimes with an a similarly populated area (say, by cutting a chunk out of DC and comparing it with New Haven) – I am unfamiliar with methods of comparison.</p>
<p>If you are going to do the “cutting a chunk” method, then Georgetown is definitely safer than New Haven. I need not look to statistics for this: the fact that this is one of the most expensive areas, is an area where very famous people live (I walk by Kerry’s house quite a few times on the way to CVS), and is an area with designer stores catering to the upper-crust of society demonstrates that the area is not that dangerous… or at least not as dangerous as New Haven.</p>
<p>I’ll take it as a ‘no’ that you haven’t visited Georgetown.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’re right, I have not visited and don’t plan on visiting Georgetown. I don’t have a chance at either school(as you probably didn’t at Yale either), I just stop in occasionally because I live close by to Yale and I have family attending Yale Law.</p>
<p>While your campus may be safer, your city is not.
</p>
<p>Notice how you did not say around Yale or anything, you just generalized and said ‘New Haven’. So while the Georgetown area is “safe”, I could also make a statement which would have more validity than your original one, such as “I thought I was going to get shot when I was in Washington DC.” </p>
<p>What you need to realize is that you will might not always be living in the nicest areas and even though you are in law school you need to grow up and get used to poverty and violence.</p>
<p>Plus, you might want to stop being a racist prick. I’m out.</p>
<p>isn’t the law school in a much worse part of town than the main campus?</p>
<p>nspeds, looks like i just settled another debate.</p>
<p>“the marshmellow-chocolate cake for nothing not to be racist or anything, it’s a common saying.”</p>
<p>No its called the Chocolate City, and this goes way back to the George Clinton days. C’mon if you are going to use a racial-based saying for the city, use the right one.</p>
<p>dank08: If you’ve been on CC for a while, you probably have read that nspeds and I generally don’t get along, and very rarely will I speak up to agree with him or defend him in any way. However, your insane logical jump of “DC has statistically more crime than New Haven, so you should be more scared on Georgetown’s campus than in New Haven” makes me think you aren’t getting into YLS because you failed the Logical Reasoning part of the LSAT. I haven’t read anything that flawed in a long time. </p>
<p>P.S. Georgetown isn’t Southeast DC. Just like Chicago may have high crime, yet you can feel perfectly safe in certain parts. Hey, just like… everywhere else!</p>
