Okay kiddies, I live in the Woodlands right next to Scholl and have never been troubled. I even considered living in Waukegan next year but then reconsidered, not because it is unsafe, more because I did not want to move all my stuff. I have a crap load. Really the area is fine, I a single female, all of 5 feet tall even go to the grocery store at night alone!!!! OMG who knew. Anyway really just look at an area and if you feel alright then live there. But the closer the better, you really don't want to commute that far, when sorry, but class is at 8:00 almost everyday.
