We now know the 25 most dangerous college campuses, thanks to a study from StartClass. Being from the Northeast, I always imagined that Trinity (located in the heart of Hartford, CT) would be high on this list but that’s not the case.
Update: The methodology and data originally provided by StartClass has been proven erroneous.
Of course, with any study or reports it’s important to know where the numbers come from. The statistics themselves represent violent and non-violent crimes reported to campus security and local law enforcement officials in 2012-2013. Those numbers were then put up against the overall size of the school, giving us a list of the most dangerous colleges relative to their student population.
