Oh wow, that's so scary for Gally students.

I don't think it was bad now but 80's and 90's are more worse for crime issue in surrounding of Gally campus.
 
I saw a black dude point his gun to my friend's head right after he tried to buy weed from him. It is unforgettable moment.
 
Robberies happen on or close to all college campuses.

We need some smarter robbers, though. Robbing a poor college student who usually has very little money on him or her is stupid!:roll:
 
I send e mail and my idea. All we have to use ID who are in Galladuet student are permission in campus on and off. If there no ID they will not allow to enter. Because we want be safety us. :)

I don't know I will just idea. Some of these University have it.

If someone who family or your friend come to visit. Must tell office when they permission and know for sure. :)
 
:cold:.. Jeez!! Long time ago.. Two teenages followed me to hotel from gallaudet :squint:
 
It's unfortunate.

But remember that some of the best schools in the country are in the worse part of town.

D.C. also has the highest graduate rate in country in terms of colleges and unviersities. As well as having the highest drop-out rate of high schoolers in the country too.....

Won't solve problem, No allow to enter campus without ID.

I was student at campus. Some people does not like walk for long way from end to end. They looked for cut short way. They can climb over the fence or hole of fence.
 
that just shows you how awful gallaudets security is.... For a "fence/gated" campus to let 3 dudes come in and rob someone on the track is ridiculous. And oh yeah, they got away. *golf clap*

lame.

You can't climb over fence. Because police caught you. I understand that you have lost your ID.

I will call on Monday and question. :)

Most of my friends and I never climb over the fence.

That's our time. Many times, we saw hearing people cross campus from fence to open gate at W Va Ave. They wanted to cut short way. Few times, they threw rocks as fight.
 
nothing new. try crime alerts from my college. we get it usually 2-3x email alerts per month - usually robbery and assault.
 
Well, Gallaudet University is right there in the ghetto. I know, I've gone to Gally for a summer college bound program in 1997.
 
I agreed that Gallaudet campus is surrounded ghetto.

A couple of years ago, I walked with my friends off the campus on the street from the Gally. We saw a black man was happy and sang himself looking thru a woman's purse. We passed him without looking at him. Then, he threw the purse in the trash and walked off. Sight!

That ghetto should be destroyed and re-develop a better environment place. Congressmen are supposed to pay to make the place safe because they work at the capital right there. They are a millionaire or maybe billionaire. Now, they don't care about the ghetto.
 
OH WOW!

im sure gally have serious crimes and need hires security in gally campus anywhere they protect student and also MUST have approves ID very serious important for student and professor also but im sure they i think need police can handle to protect gally what u think?

Thanks to those million black protesters back in late '60s (MLK parade) that some of them ended up settling down in the neighborhoods next to Gally afterward because some of them ended up having no money to return back to their home states. Many years ago it was a nice upscale neighborhood... wish it stayed the same. We heard such stories while at Gally.

I didn't experience any except a little black boy selling drugs just a block away from the Gally front campus gate approaching me and few other friends. Few others were shocked. gee lol Back in the 80s it wasn't that bad but assume it's getting worse nowadays.
 
This reminds me of a robbery that happened at RIT years ago.
