I’m a student at MICA. We have security at the front of every building as well as patrol cars that drive/park around campus - you can flag them down if need be. Most of the area is well-lit at night, I’ve walked home countless times very late without incident. The most that I’ve heard of happening here is infrequent robbery (we get emails about crime directly around campus). Just be aware of your surroundings.

It’s a very friendly and serene neighborhood from what I’ve seen. Lots of people walking their dogs, and the Park Ave park sometimes has people selling clothes/items/furniture/etc

I’m too lazy to convert these to percents but here’s some stats I found bc I was curious too:

>The incidence of juvenile idiopathic arthritis in North America and Europe is estimated to be 4 to 16 in 10,000 children. Approximately 294,000 children in the United States are affected.

>Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common pediatric chronic diseases, with a yearly incidence between 1.6 and 23 new cases per 100,000 children

If you want to call that uncommon, then sure. But that’s not my point. I was a child with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and was put on a ton of strong drugs to treat it. I grew up in hospitals surrounded by kids taking these kinds of meds, stronger ones too. My point is that if the kid needs the med, they’re prescribed the med.

Also, ibuprofen isn’t prescribed as a primary treatment for arthritis…
