As for Baltimore, yes there are some pretty shady spots but they also have Inner Harbor, Fells Point, Federal Hill, etc. Not sure if you noticed but NYC has some really shady spots as well and last time I looked Hofstra wasnt in the greatest neighborhood either. In regards to UVA, your talking about a beautiful campus, a great academic institution, a pretty sizable and powerful alumni and a storied lacrosse program. So who wouldnt go there and why???? If your talking about deciding between and IVY and UVA you have an argument, otherwise its a no brainer.


Except for bringing Hofstra into this, your pretty spot on and the NYC comparison it too broad and we are surely not talking Wagner or Manhattan. But if you are a lax ER then you have a choice and Hop is lucky they have the aura to overcome the location.
