I was kinda surprised at Dallas being the most crime-ridden...

It's true.......Last year, I did some research on the 'safest cities' before deciding where my daughter would go to college. NY was listed as one of the safest cities, last year, too.

She currently attends college in Manhattan, and not only does she love being there, she feels extremely safe.

I have been living in NY, and work in New York city for over twenty years. I eyewitnessed how Mayor Rudy Juliani turned New York city from a slump to a much safer, cleaner place.

I have been living in NY, and work in New York city for over two years. I eyewitnessed how Mayor Rudy Juliani turned New York city from a slump to a much safer, cleaner place.

I didn't always like his methods, but I must agree.

I think as a college town NYC is unparalleled. As long as the kids exercise common sense safety is not an issue; as a matter of fact, in some ways I think it is safer because it doesn't embue them with the false sense of security that many other campuses, especially rural ones, do. From day one they learn to be street smart.

I live in the suburbs, but both my daughters went to college in the city and my younger one is in grad school there now. She didn't look any other place for grad school- loves living there.

They also aren't driving, a BIG plus imo.

I agree with you completely.

What happened to St. Louis? Number 1, but at least we won the World Series.

Funny you said this- last week a friend of mine whose kids are younger was lamenting about driving them all over and that she couldn't wait to give them the keys. I warned her to be careful what she wished for (her eldest is 14 1/2). Anyway, she asked me when you stopped worrying- another friend had told her the worry only lasted for about 6 months. Needless to say, I had a good laugh. So- she asked me how long it really took- I told her I'd let her know- I was still wondering the same thing....and my "baby" is in grad school!
