Out of curiosity, are you going to be on the medical campus (nursing, physician training, etc) or the academic/Monroe Park campus (business, engineering, liberal arts)?

They're both in the city but about a mile apart and in very different parts of town. The Monroe Park campus is between a pretty historic neighborhood and downtown; it's very safe especially in the direction of the historic neighborhoods to the west and south. The Medical Campus is downtown near the state capital and city hall; it's busier since it has the hospital there and you have to be a little more careful going off the campus area.
