Counter argument. Parents content knowing their kids are safe


I know for certain that many in the Tidewater in the 90's and early 2000's that were from the Tidewater had parents desiring Va Tech in order to get them out of the High Crime Areas/Not so good friends and associates, etc in the Tidewater where they could go to the Mountains and focus on school and football giving the parents a piece of mind regarding safety.

As we move forward in a society that increases in "meanness" and violent crime continues to rise, I think the pendulum will swing toward getting kids from inner city areas to rural areas for school. It will not always be the case, but I think parents in the future, more and more will choose this route, and I think the future, and sadly rising violent crime in large metropolitan areas will actually work in Va Tech's favor.
