How Not to Get Mugged

I may be a little too careful. But better safe than sorry. I read up on  crime statistics on campuses, and realized that like any place, campuses are little cities- some not so little. And like cities, there are good parts of town, and there are bad parts of town. As a newcomer, I wouldn't know which was which. I heard of horror stories of a famous university, where its immediate environs is crime infested. Needless to say, I'm sure my parents have already done some research of their own on crime statistics, I don't want to compare notes with them. What I propose is that we discuss the first campus visit will be to an urban school, with a reputation that may not be so good. We need to be there and actually see the place. We want to talk to people on campus, like students, teachers, and staff about their daily experiences. I know I will play even more attention to the staff, because they are likely to know the town better than the students, and they will have more candid opinions. Now we have to make the decision: when will we visit the campus in order to see as much as possible, and talk to the widest variety of the campus community. I need to know where the safe parts of town are, and where the dicey parts are.
