It should also be noted what violent crime refers to in this case. In this study, violent crime is defined as murder or manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault and robbery. This list also only includes colleges that have at least five-hundred people.

Which Minnesota University Is On The List?

Unfortunately, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities came in at number ten on this list. That means that it is within the top of the top for most dangerous college campuses. According to this report, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities had 114 instances of violent crime within the three year time period this study looked at.

The good news is that the university is much further down the list when you factor in crime per every 100,000 students. In that instance, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus comes in at number eighteen.

This is random and a little frightening. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus came in at number one and it wasn't even close. There was 1,468 cases of violent crime reported within a three year window. Wow.
