I'm in Waco, Texas - came here for school last august. The robbery rate here is ridiculousness. I've never been in a place with so many in such a short amount of time. This is definitely not a college town.

The above link are some of the reports we are currently dealing with, and these are only ones where students are victims. We still have the non student ones as well. My apartment is dead center of it all.
