Default northwest-ish of campus--ghetto?

along the original lines of this thread, i'm also moving to champaign. there's a house in particular i'm interested in just northwest of campus on 4th and e. church. what is that area like? it sounds like it could be kind of sketch, but how sketch are we talking? i keep figuring it can't be that bad so close to campus, but who knows. anyone?

4th and Church? That's definitely the sketchy side of town. You are quite a bit "off campus" there as well.

4th and Church isn't remotely sketchy. That's only a block or two north of University Avenue and a couple blocks from downtown. That area is fine.

You should probably go look at it yourself, and get a feel for the area. Unless it's changed drastically since I lived there, e.g. major "gentrification" set in, it's not the best area of town. OTOH, you might like it.
