When it comes to choosing a college, there are a lot of factors to weigh: athletics, social scene, and of course safety. From a parent's point of view, the safety comes high on the list.
Using data from the FBI's Crime in the United States reports, specifically for crimes on university and college campuses, we compiled a ranking of the most dangerous colleges campuses in the country.
Certain elite colleges make the list, including MIT, Duke and Amherst -- a reminder that quality of students bears little on the neighbood.

ReplyDeleteI was surprised SU didn't end up on the list, too, considering the area and the crime.
ReplyDeleteWhat good is a background check if they don't look at it. What a bunch of idiots we put our trust in.
ReplyDeletejustmyopinion - Thanks for the information on UMES. How can they allow a sex offender to work there?
ReplyDeleteI was attacked by a convicted felon (his charger's: battery assault on woman) he was a construction worker on property. Not only did Umes continue to let him work there, they charged me for the semester I had to leave due to attack!
