The Daily Beast has released its annual list of the nation's safest and most dangerous universities (with residential housing and more than 6,000 students), and the results are personally self-affirming. In extremely general, sweeping terms, the more money you paid for college, the less safe you probably are.

Topping the list of most dangerous universities is Tufts, which Daily Beast took care to note scored low because of its Boston campus. Rounding out the top five are Harvard, Rutgers, Hartford and the University of Baltimore. Other well-regarded schools on the top 50 dangerous list are Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Brown, Washington University, Wake Forest, Princeton and Northwestern.

The Ivy leagues are so crime-prone they've got their own mini-ranking, and it goes something like this — 1) Harvard, 2) Penn, 3) Brown, 4) Columbia, 5) Yale, 6) Princeton, 7) Dartmouth, and 8) Cornell.

Also on the list: Prairie View A&M, at No. 37, and Texas Southern University, at No.43 — the only Texas schools on the most dangerous list.

In contrast, safer schools include large state institutions like the University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Wisconsin, and the University of Montana. Five Texas schools make the list, as well — University of Texas-Brownsville, Texas A&M, Sam Houston State University (might have something to do with the prison), University of Texas-Pan American and Texas Woman's University.

My alma mater, the University of Missouri, didn't make the list at either end, but I'm fine with that. There's got to be a happy medium, because the all-time safest school? Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wis. Cardinal?

The Crusaders? I'll take my safety secular, thanks.
