The area around Morgan State is pretty safe by Baltimore standards. This is a good web site to let you know what you might be getting into:
http://www.burgersub.org/shootings2k7.htm. It has crime statistics collected from the Baltimore pd website. Maps of shootings make a lot more sense to look at than maps of murders. Baltimore's murder rate would likely be much higher if it did not have such fine medical institutions. I also attached another picture collected from
http://baltimorecrime.blogspot.com/; it shows gang activity in 2006. Granted things are probably different now. I live near morgan state off of argonne, and I have never had any problems.
