I think my college life was a bit of a Utopian
experience. In the late 1990s, I went to a very small religious college just
outside of St. Louis.
Hearing about the college crimes that affect metro-area
students in Houston makes me feel lucky that crime wasn't an issue for us.
Principia College had about 500 students when I was
there. Our doors didn't lock. There wasn't a need. Theft wasn't a problem. A
sex offense was very, very uncommon. I don’t even recall it ever happening
during my time there.
What a different life than what students at major
universities and colleges in the Houston area experience.
I invite you to watch our campus crime story tonight. We’ll
rank the top five colleges with the highest crime rates. (We looked at only the
most serious crimes reported in federal law.) The story I did with producer Lauren Sweeney airs Monday on Local 2 at 10.
