Genuinely not sure where you want us to live? All of philly is dangerous on a students budget.

TU is right on the BSL. You can find plenty of places in south philly that are comparable in price without having to duck gun shots or worry about your house gettingrobbed every spring/holiday break

Only place I've had a gun waved at me is South Philly, on Synder ave. All of the cheap areas of Philly are dangerous. But here it only takes me 10 minutes to walk to anything I need.

They gave me money and being in a city is important for employment opportunities. Not everyone wants to tuck into a suburb or college town. Students shouldn't be blamed for attending a college the locals make a war zone

Not blaming the students at all, y’all shouldn’t have to worry about being murdered while getting an education, it’s the cities fault. There’s gotta be other cities that have colleges though
