As for crime at Cal or IUP, people get all worked up about these events, but in the end the crime statistics on a per capita basis are actually lower than a lot of communities that don't have universities. The few high-profile events, namely homecoming and IUPattys, catch a lot of attention.
As for the troublemakers, plenty of local non-college kids were roaming the streets and filling the sidewalks, including the contingent of skoalboys I observed cruising Philly Streeet, shouting at students--particularly black students--and "rolling coal." The violence sucks, but this kind of thing is the deal with the devil our society makes in return for our collective firearm fetish. I could give a damn about the partying, even if it means cleaning some trash off my lawn (which I didn't have to do because an army of students swarmed through much of the community very early Sunday morning and carried off most of the trash.) But as I said, I don't care about the partying--just leave the guns at home.
