哥大所在的colunbus circle是黑人区 不是富人区 -- by 会员 alisonkay (2011/1/12 22:44:08)
Columbus Circle is one of the richest area in Manhattan. It has three Michelin 3-star restaurant, some high end store/hotel and luxury residential building. Columbia is located in Harlem area. Actually west side of Columbia is not that bad (most student dorm and professor apartment are there) but east side is a famous African american area. -- by 会员 diablo2man (2011/1/13 3:21:22)
Columbus circle has been a historically notorious black area. Ask any New Yorker and they will tell you that. Nowadays Columbia's campus is generally safer than its surrounding area, thanks to the efforts of the school's authority. But just further up on the 125 street is the notorious harlem district and down on the 95 street it's not very safe as well. I lived at Columbus Circle for a whole summer. You can still see suspecious ganster activities in that area from time to time. |
