Questions about Clarkson and Northeastern?

The actaul campus around Northeastern is quite nice, and anything around Huntington ave is perfectly safe for any student. However once you venture "over" the orange line towards the Roxbury the enviroment is less than ideal. Last year I lived right between columbus ave and tremont st and what I noticed was there was Tremont street was literally the threshold between "perfectly safe NEU" and "the hood" it may sound funny but each side of the street is drastically different than the other. Many students also choose to live on "mission hill" which is further down huntington towards roxbury/jamaica plan, altho this area has a bad reputation everyone I talked to has never had any problems there. I myself have never had any confrontations or problems with anyone while in boston. Altho I said early that there is a rough area near NEU, theres really no reason to go there because nobody who goes to school lives there, and theres nothing over there that you would want/need to go to. So as long as you dont purposefully walk into bad neighboorhoods at night you will most certainly be fine, you might have the occasional hobo ask you for change, but you'll find them anywhere in boston. I've enjoyed NEU so far and would recomend it to anyone.
