So, if you or your child will be heading off to college in the future, you definitely want to know which campuses are among the ones with the most violent crimes. The FBI considers the following offenses to be violent crimes: murder, forcible rape, aggravated assault, and robbery.

The study found that Texas A&M University, College Station was the most dangerous college campus in the Lone Star State, ranked Number 9 overall.

Texas State University was ranked at Number 15 on the list, Texas Tech University, Lubbock came in at Number 16, and the University of North Texas was ranked the 27th most dangerous college campus in the country.
