Hi there! I am considering going to the University of Maryland at College Park for grad school. I would like to start looking at apartments. Now I know the Washington D.C. area does not generally have a safe reputation. Could you please tell me what neighborhoods I should consider moving to if/when I go to UMD? Hyattsville, Greenbelt, Adelphi, etc.? Please tell me the names of the good and the bad. This will help me narrow my search. Any other tips about living in the College Park Maryland area would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

UMD is a great grad school. The only downfall of that is it is in a terrible area. All the cities you listed are not safe. Tips for living here would be that to be prepared to drive a lot. Also avoid 270, 495, and 695 during rush hour at all possibilty. I would communte to UMD so probably move into the Howard or Frederick area.
