Our law schools are more dangerous than yours
Both of Maryland’s law schools are located on campuses that are among the most dangerous in the country, according to a new ranking.
Both the University of Baltimore and the University of Maryland-Baltimore made The Daily Beast’s list of the 25 most dangerous colleges. In fact, UMB is the third most dangerous school in the country, according to this list. The rankings are based in part on crime data the schools are required to report to the federal government and in part on crime stats for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Maryland has the dubious distinction of having more schools on the list than any other state except Massachusetts. The other dangerous colleges in the Free State are University of Maryland-Eastern Shore and Bowie State University. Notably, the Johns Hopkins University is not on there.
No Maryland schools made The Daily Beast’s list of the 25 safest colleges.
Students at the “dangerous” Maryland schools: do the rankings ring true? Do you feel unsafe on campus?
(An aside: I’m proud that my alma mater didn’t make the list. To my dad, who was worried about me going there because of safety concerns: I told you so.)
