Vermont Ave, which is the western border of the University of Spoiled Children  campus is known as "death alley."  Technically, I think that name applies to a stretch that's further south than the University of Spoiled Children  campus, but it could just as easily apply to the area around the University of Spoiled Children  campus.  The LA Times has a homicide report that lists all of the murders in each area of town over the last 13 years.  In Exposition Park, which is probably not much bigger than 1 square mile, there have been 104 reported murders.  It is a legitimate reason to not attend school there.

...don't apply to specific schools because they are in iffy areas?  U of Spoiled Children, Yale, Johns Hopkins and others are in comparatively marginal areas.  At one time, you might have said that about Chicago or Columbia.  Conversely, Stanford's idyllic setting probably encourages many additional applications.

Mick, the environment around U$C was one reason I turned down the scholarship offer I had there.
