If you really want to nitpick, Deep Ellum is not cool anymore.

Would you send your 18 year old to a school who's primary facility is a block from a massive homeless shelter swarming with panhandlers, drug dealers, and crime?

Well, to be fair, there are a lot of schools that are in less than desirable area of town... strangely, it more often than not seems to be the private ones.

That's not to say that it shouldn't be a concern. What's funny is that students usually don't mind so much as their usually less jaded than their parents, but really the biggest risk of being by the mission is probably getting hit by an ambulance.

Actually.. putting musicians near drug dealers makes economic sense

That's funny... unfortunately.

Georgetown Law is located next door to the largest homeless shelter in the nation.

Well there's a bit of difference between a graduate school and one aimed at undergrad-aged individuals. I would argue there is also a different mindset about such situations in the urban areas on the east coast than there is in the midwest and plains, the areas we are most likely to recruit from.
