@dickson4252001 the propetry crime rate in Ann Arbor is about the same as Michigan average and violent is lower.but at the same time miller manor has a little more violent crime,if you've been following the news also there where a few "very" violent crime committed on south u in the past but no murders.

@okturus thats what uofm is like, and of course the grads are yuppies, but a lot of the people who don't live downtown and aren't affiliated with the school are cool people

@goodozog people always get stabbed on south u? i've never heard that before. i think downtown especially that area which is full of restaurants and bars is extremely safe

I think south university has a much higher crime rate then most places in ann arbor for some resone, could it be all the young people ?

anyway i think i get it town now,most parks of town have a very low crime rate and what left

have some what of a high crime rate, people always get stabbed on south u.

I live in university towers and that day was really horrible. I think even the crime rate in AA is lower than average of Michigan, there are still a plenty of them. Alertness emails are often sent to students to inform new cases of sexual assault, robbery around. I am still skeptical about the causes of fire, but hope it won't happen again as U towers a very old residential building as well.

Ann arbor has a low violent crime rate but not the lowest i think ,it's funny how people have a false scene of security ,people get stabbed on south university all the time .
