Just another note: I've wandered (even staggered) around those areas later at night and ridden the El at all hours and have never run into anything close to trouble. Usual 'big city' ideas - don't be stupid (stay out of back alleys or unlighted streets, don't try to conduct an illegal transaction w/ parties unknown etc.), aggressive or real drunk by yourself. Yes, people do get mugged (even here in Madison) but I wouldn't be hiding in the dorm by sundown because of it. Looking at: http://www.chicagocrime.org/streets/adams_st/ The "busiest" block had 2 thefts in June (yes, 2 reported thefts) at 9am and 3pm and 2 for the month of May. So its not like gangster-ville or anything. a Andy Bach, Sys.
