My budding engineer son is interested in Georgia Tech. Is that campus in a “bad area”? Are there any GOOD areas?
Out of the 10 schools listed as most dangerous campuses when my son went to college, 5 of them were in Atlanta and Georgia Tech was one of the 5. That said, he lived on campus and graduated having never been the victim of a crime.
Georgia Tech is in Midtown Atlanta and is not really in a bad area. However, it is close enough to downtown and bad areas like Vine City and the Bankhead Highway (now known as Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway) corridor that the criminals easily roam the Georgia Tech area and prey on students, especially students walking at night. Lots of armed robberies in the past few years.
GA tech in a bad area. Criminals prey on students. News covered up.
