If you are looking for an insanely expensive college located in a place where you and your fellow students will be subjected to a relatively high frequency of robberies, The Daily Caller is here to help.
Using the most recent data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education, Chicago media giant WGN has created a searchable database of America’s college campuses by the number of robberies per 10,000 students.
The database only features schools enrolling 5,000 or more students — on the theory that a single robbery report in one year can seriously skew the numbers for smaller schools.
Also, the robbery data includes crimes that allegedly occurred on campus as well as crimes that occurred in public areas near campus and in school-owned, off-campus buildings.
Here, then, is a list of nine fancypants American colleges and universities that also feature among the highest incidences of robberies and which charge over $50,000 per year for tuition, fees and room and board.
