I am moving to Orlando in August and I"ll be working at Valencia CC west campus. Upon looking for places to live I've read that MetroWest, which the campus is in the middle of, is not a safe place to live but I was wondering about the campus itself. I looked up the crime stats and it seemed ok, but I would like some "local" opinion. Thanks!!
And also...I've thought about living in the new apts downtown (Camden on Orange ave)...any word about them or their neighborhood would be helpful. Thanks!!

The campus itself is not unsafe and you should have no problem getting to and from there. Just make sure you take the 408 freeway over some of the alternatives to get between there and downtown (Colonial, Old Winter Garden Rd, McLeod). I really like that property you are referring to. It is right in the heart of downtown/uptown. I would say you will see and hear usual things because you are downtown and should have your guard up for those reasons but you should be okay. Being in the heart of the city like that will have its pros and cons.
