No day is truly complete unless it involves discovering a list that ranks Boston as the best or worst at something. Two lists that seem to contradict themselves just adds to our daily satisfaction.
Tina Brown's Daily Beast is always embarking on strange, sensationalistic "studies" that pronounce Emerson dangerous, or BC delicious. We often question their results, but this time around they might have gotten one thing right: Providence is pretty crazy.
The last time we heard something from Tina Brown's Daily Beast, it was the dubious claim that sweet little Emerson "Whiteytown" College is the most dangerous school in the country. So we're taking the publication's latest news with a grain of salt... and a side of fries.
Prompted by the tragic death of Yale student Annie Le, the Daily Beast has completed a study detailing what they consider the least safe schools in the country. The publication analyzed two years of Clery Act data from thousands of schools to determine the least safe schools in the country (full methodology here). So where's the most dangerous place to go to school in the country? None other than that rough and tumble performing arts haven, Emerson College (from which more than one Bostonist staffer has emerged alive and unrobbed). Also making the list were Tufts and MIT (both in the top 5), Fitchburg State, Springfield College, and Harvard.
