Which parts of The Hill are okay (except right next to the hospital)?
Hi all! I'm moving to New Haven to go to Yale's medical school. Beyond cost, my main priority is being as close of a walk to the medical school/hospital as possible. I know the Hill has a rough reputation but I'm poor and the rents are much cheaper than downtown, which is the other closest area to the medical school.
Are there any areas of the Hill besides right next to the hospital that are decent? The part of the Hill right next to the hospital (i.e. both north of Columbus and east of Howard) also seems to have higher rents.
Somebody told me the southwest part of the Hill is especially rough, so I'm probably excluding that. Are the parts I circled okay, or if it's block-by-block, are there parts within them that are okay? Which parts within the circles are definitely to be avoided?
Thanks for any help :- )
