Is it less safe for Indian students to go to the United States for grad studies than it was a few years ago?

Question

This is in view of the recent murders in LSU and Duke

Answer 1

It depends on whether you hold a gun license

Answer 2

Define the word 'safe' - if you are meaning are the people less welcoming to Indian students in this day and age then the answer is no.

In the United States you will find that the majority of universities, cities and college towns are very diverse and multi-cultural with many of the international students being from Asian countries such as China, Korea and India. In fact you will find more international students from Asia than you will from Western Europe.

If by 'safe' you mean the streets etc then - yes they are becoming less safe in certain parts of the country, but that is not the case for just the Asian population but for everyone. Crime in general is on the increase in many parts and crime knows no boundries.

Answer 3

Its definatly safer then where you are,

Answer 4

there are dangers everywhere even in india. if you are going to only study there (or to any other country) and return once you complete your course, it is okay. but if you are going to become an illegal immigrant, do drugs, marry some innocent person to get a green card, then you better stay at home

Answer 5

It depends on your luck. It also happened in India recently.
