Could Persuing Higher Education in the Orlando Area Be Hazardous to Your Health?

This entry is to make a case in point. Criminals do not recognize any type of territorial boundaries. They roam through out Orange County, as well as adjacent counties practicing their chosen profession. Criminals go where there is stuff to steal, and what better place than a college campus and parking lots, and the adjacent student housing. Most college students have expensive electronic items such as computers, video games, GPS and other items that are easy to sell. College students typically have a reasonable amount of cash and credit cards, and most have never faced a robbery situation so they will most likely be compliant to the assailant’s wishes. It is highly unlikely that a college student will be armed, making it a low risk for the criminal. When you have a surrounding area that has a high crime rate (Orlando is ranked #11 in Most Dangerous Cities in America survey) there will most definitely be spill over into outlying areas.
