Re: The most unsafe university towns
what you've forgotten to add though is that with two obvious exceptions, the safe ones are almost all shit (UH, DMU in particular)

4 years in Nottingham as a student and i've survived, lucky me i guess .
Nottingham's not that bad though. A lot of the shootings are gang wars, so its only other gang members that get shot unless you happen to be mistaken for one. If you're stupid enough to go into the wrong places at the wrong time then you'll find trouble, but thats the same in all cities.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
The Cambridge that APU is in is safer than the Cambridge that Cambridge is in?

There's an APU campus in Chelmsford, which I think is a very safe town.

I figured it's not exactly the best place in the world, but they have a great course for what I'm wanting to do (politics) so it balances out really.

theres low unemployment in hull because no-one wants to live there.
(true story, there's a big demand for IT workers in hull, cos no-one with sense stays there very long).
this is curious, because one of the things that was considered when decideding it the worse place in the country was unemployment...

Re: The most unsafe university towns
I`m surprised Portsmouth is one of the safest. It`s a Naval town, and I had a good kicking down there a few years ago.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
I can understand how Nottingham can be seen as unsafe, but I still like the town.
Hull never appeared to be unsafe to me.
Leicester (De Montford Uni) is a very safe region.

Portsmouth is pretty safe unless you piss someone off.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
I can guaratee that Southampton isn't the 3rd safest Uni. Most of my friends took a battering during their three years there. Unless they're talking about each Uni's main campus.. If so, Southamptons Highfield Campus is a safe haven in the middle of a town of chavs, townies and utter bastard children. Most of the kids in the area are parents and not old enough to go to Uni yet. And the way the talk, christ!
Really, here are two fantastic accounts testament to the utter shitness of Southampton:

How is De Montfort 'safe' when compared to Leicester? It's in a far dodgier part of town.
|
I also wondered how De Montfort was on there but Leicester wasn't. I assumed it was something to do with the other campuses (Bedford??)

Re: The most unsafe university towns
The lists are based on the number of offences (most commonly muggings, vehicle-related theft and burglary) per thousand students, so it's really a list of unsecure campuses. They only gave a figure for Nottingham which was 156, so even that is only a 15.6% chance you'll be a victim of crime there.

Re: The most unsafe university towns

Are you sure it wasn't 156%? I.e. you're likely to get mugged 1.56 times?!

Re: The most unsafe university towns
safety is inversely proportional to quality of nightlife.
well, kind of.
anyway, im at MMU (7th most dangerous apparently) and it doesnt really bother me. It's not like there are gangs roaming through the streets at night looking for students on their own to beat up and mug. Well, there probably are actually, but you shouldnt be going to the same places they do.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
In violent America, I was last in a fight in 1954 (8 years old). I last was personally present when a fight occurred in 1963 (junior year of high school, small race riot). I guess I give out that "too shit to bother with" vibe.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
I'm rethinking going to Nottingham on my exchange. When discussing the place people often remark that it is either a crime infested slum, or alternativly they try to explain why "It isn't that bad really".
Which implies that in the minds of right thinking people it really is bad and that these people still cling to some delusional home town loyalty.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
I'm not from Nottingham, i've lived there for 4 years, i like it.
You'll hear bad stories about any city in the world. You'ld never step foot in London for fear of being involved in some kind of terrorist act, you wouldnt go to Glasgow because its full of waring Rangers and Celtic fans, you wouldnt go to Manchester because you might end up in Moss Side and M&S got blown up by the IRA and you wouldnt go to Nottingham because you'll get shot.

Re: The most unsafe university towns
Wonder why Carlisle isn't on the list as the locals here really don't like stoodents (or foreigners, southerners,northerners, geordies, the scottish, welsh, irish, blacks, browns, yellows, each other). It's really not a nice place on an evening sadly.
And if you are from Barnet, then you are in REAL trouble.

hmmm... perhaps i should have reconsidered my firm (Hull) and insurance (Pompey) uni's while i had the chance and stayed local.
Still, Hull didn't look to be that unsafe. It's too dull to be so crime infested

Re: The most unsafe university towns
may i interject to throw my considerable support behind dear sweet Hull?
i always found it a terribly charming place. the gin was cheapand plentiful. both genders were well toned and wore scant clothing. indeed of all of my bizzare trips for a 'night out' in the provinces i enjoyed hull by far the most.
(canal street in manchester, indeed manchester as a whole was terribly disapointing)
my only complaint about hull is; must they make the dancefloor move?

Refused entry. Probably not even going to get in anywhere this year.
The list itself isn't exactly a surprise. All the unis with campuses in leafy nowheres are 'safe', whilst all those who have campuses in actual cities are 'unsafe'.
Would have never guessed!

Re: The most unsafe university towns

De Montford Bedford should really be one of the LEAST safest.
So if it isn't De Montford Leicester, or De Montford Bedford, what is it?
Also, why isn't Sheffield on there? It's the safest city in the country and in 4 years there I barely heard of any trouble at all.
