DoofusMama, here is the situation. That woman is planning everything at the last mintune really, to go to Gallaudet on a visit and if you will notice I gave good advice and I did not point out in a " racial " way. It is true. The neighborhood is very , very bad !!!! There is no denying it.
Here is my comment then you will see that I said it in a neutral way and that advice may have just saved her life.
Never walk around in the area around Gallaudet University. Always have transportation straight to Gallaudet University and no where else since Gallaudet University, unfortunately is located in a black neighborhood with very high crime rate. I know it is 5 blocks away from Amtrak train station to Gallaudet. I think they have the Gallaudet's bus shuttle stop at the Amtrak train station. You also need to realize that the homeless shelter is only 3 blocks away from Gallaudet University which is a very dangerous area. Once, you are on Gallaudet University campus property itself then you are fine. Just sleep in the main dormitory and not off campus. I understand 100 years ago Gallaudet University was located in a 100% white neighborhood. I hope that changes soon. We do not need the crime problems.
