I live in a University town (2 Universities, 33,000 in one of them and 17,200 in mine) and most of the crimes that are committed are by University students. I can't even count the # of sexual assaults and rapes that have occurred/I've heard about since I've lived here. Many thefts (mainly occurring at parties though) and other crimes, but there have been break-ins as well.Originally Posted by Toxic Tessa
What I'm trying to say is, University towns can be baad, bad, bad news!
What I'm wondering is, why would these people be directing thefts and robberies at students? I don't know about down there, but most of us live in crappy, unsafe units and we're all broke. The only thing I can think of are some snazzy large-screen TV's that people would want.
Hmm. I second the suggestion of putting a lock on your bedroom door. I have one and although I trust my roommates, I don't trust a lot of the people they bring into the house!
