How crime-ridden is Memphis, Tennessee?
My boyfriend will be going to school in Memphis for three months. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the "bad" areas of the city. Feel free to give me your honest opinion even if you've only visited Memphis. Thanks.

email the police dept and ask for crime statistics for the city or area

memphis has a high crime rate, and a bad reputation, i guess you probably know. i've been here for 20 years and not experienced that many problems, really, and i live in midtown which is said to be dangerous. what school is he going to? are you looking for an area of town to live in for the 3 mos? or is he staying on campus and you just want to know where not to go? there are 2 main streets that will keep you close to everything and in safe areas - poplar ave and walnut grove/(becomes union ave going west). check out a city map, any place along these 2 streets is safe and they go across the whole city. i think there are several areas of town with bad reputations, but unless you know someone there, you won't be going there anyway. just stay along those 2 streets for shopping, dining, and a place to stay. if you wander around you can pretty easily tell when you're getting close to an area where you don't feel comfortable. i actually like it here. take either of those streets all the way downtown, by the river, and you can find lots of fun places and the crime rate down there is actually low. have fun!

from what i can tell the entire city is crime riden. I hate to be the one to tell you, but it is not a good place to live.

from what ive heard the crime rate there is HIGH

You can always check with the Chamber of Commerce in any city for call the local Sheriffs dept. Let them know your concerns and they would be more than glad to help.

Is the University of Memphis a Safe School?
Is the University of Memphis a Safe School?
I am applying to graduate schools throughout Tennessee, and I would really like to know just how safe the University of Memphis is. I have told everyone I know that I am going to apply there, and they quickly retort with some sort of negative comment. Their English M.A. program looks great, but I don't want to die while trying to further my education. If anyone can give me some perspective on this issue, I would truly appreciate it.

I went there for a year (lived in Germantown, TN since i was 3 until last may). I lived on campus in Rawls Hall on State Street nearby the Tiger Den and Fed Ex building. There were a lot of rapes that happened while I was living there. Girls would walk out to their car (parked RIGHT across a not-so-main street in front of Rawls) And there a guy would attempt to rape them, etc. I only recall one or two actual rapes from there, though. I was studying in the library late one night, and a girl was stabbed just in front of the library. She was even walking with a group of people, and there were other people around. The guy ran up and grabbed her purse, and stabbed her and ran off. A lot of car jackings happen around there, too. I drove back to campus one night and saw one happening. There is Tiger Patrol, too (they drive golf carts around the campus, and offer rides to people.) you can call them at a certain number and they will come get you where you are. However, it's not THAT safe. They also break down a lot (the golf carts) and it turns into "Tiger WALKING Patrol" which doesn't do ANYTHING to help you really. There was a murder of a football player in campus apartments just last year. And there was another murder at the end of last year, too, i believe. There is a lot of crime around there. But that's just how Memphis is. The government is corrupt. Everything is going downhill FAST. It's decently safe, though. Surprisingly (after what I have told you). Although, I DID buy a 4" knife just in case. I carried it everywhere with me. Mace is good to have on hand, too. You can only carry knives up to 4" long on campus. Here is the University's site where they post all of the crimes on campus: http://bf.memphis.edu/police/incidents/ AND http://bf.memphis.edu/police/psa.php I hope this helps. I moved to Oklahoma for Photography school and to get out of that area. Even Germantown is showing evidence of becoming a bad area. It'll probably be just like Bartlett in about 5-10 years. It's unfortunate. Memphis is a beautiful place. Lots of history. Best of luck on your education.

Here's the website for the best mall in Memphis. I could list all the stores but you can click on them faster by going here: http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=840 Its called Wolfchase Galleria

Hi! As has been answered, Wolfchase is definitely the biggest mall, but if you would like a site that offers a little bit of comparison and can see the stores at the best area malls, check out this site: http://memphis.about.com/od/shopping/p/malls.htm Depending on where you live, a mall like Oak Court (upscale) in East Memphis or The Avenue Carriage Crossing in Southeast Memphis might also fit your needs without having to travel too far. Of course, if you're near Wolfchase (I 40 and Germantown Rd), then it definitely has the most selections, including: Macys Dilliards Sears JC Penney Abercrombie & Fitch Aeropostale American Eagle Outfitters Banana Republic Brooks Brothers Buckle FOSSIL Gap Guess? Hollister Co. Journeys PacSun Situation The College Station and much more! P.S. Go shopping the weekend of Aug 7-10... it's back to school Tax Free Holiday in Tennessee. If your Mom has you on a budget, you'll be able to get more by not having to pay sales tax!
