Safety in DePaul LPC/Loop campuses?

Hey guys! So I’m a incoming freshman this autumn in DePaul. I am a Business major and will be dorming in LPC (fingers crossed), so I will be commuting from LPC to The Loop through my four years. Although I am very excited to get started, it is hard to ignore some of the incidents occurring recently in the area, especially in Lincoln Park.

I don’t want to let fear ruin my experience and opinion about the area, considering I’ve visited the LPC earlier this year and felt very safe as well as alive. I’d just like to know the opinion of you guys that have had more experience with these areas more than me. Obviously being from Chicago and like anyone else would tell you from a big city that these things happen but I haven’t been in these areas quite often to have developed a consensus in regards of safety, etc.
