This is sort of a weird question to ask but is Emerson St safe? How's the neighbourhood? It's just that my friends told me that university neighbourhoods are usually dangerous and when I was looking for off-campus housing, one of the landlords said a bunch of streets to avoid living on. :/ I'm worried especially because I have PolSci from 7-10pm every Thursday all year...

Secondly, could I have my timetable reviewed please?

Term ONE:





Term TWO:







Thanks so much!!

Your schedule is pretty spread out, which can be a bit of a pain if you're living off-campus, but you can always go to the library or the gym or an empty classroom to do work if you want

I wouldn't say Emerson is any more dangerous than any other street. If you're worried about walking home alone after dark, there's a walk-home service you can call. SWHAT (Student Walk Home Attendant Team) is located on the second floor of the Student Centre, and is open from 7pm-1am 7 days a week. Teams of one male and one female will meet you wherever you specify, and will walk or bus with you as far as 30mins from campus. You can call them at x27500 or go see them in the Student Centre to ask for a walk. They'll likely be giving out pins with their extension during Clubsfest

Yeah your schedule is way to space. With spaced schedules like yours it's more tempting to skip class rather than to go back to school after a 5 hour break. Maybe change your psych (term 1) to fit in your Thursday gap(if possible ) that way you only have one class on Tuesday

Emerson is as safe as Hamilton itself. Take it however you want

I'd say Emerson is pretty safe, but that depends on who you talk to.

"Murderpeg" makes the entire city of Hamilton look tame.

I live near Emerson and seems fine to me.
