What shall I expect with low income housing?

I have to do it.. I'm 20 and trying to go to school (or get a better job that will pay for it)... but I'm going into low income housing. What shall I expect..?

1. Drugs, guns, and fights. Oh and lots of police and sirens. Good luck.
2. It all depends where you are from and what section you are living in. Some low income places are actually nice, but I am speaking for my area. I would say just as precaution, dont go out real late at night, get your financial stuff by email if you can and be cautious who you talk to...of course all these things will lax down once you get to know people
3. Can't you share an apartment or house with friends? Try anything but public housing....especially if you'll be going to school. It will be hard to study with all the interruptions.
4. I have lived in lots of places, and a few low income housing projects. None of the low income places were bad, because they have a certain code to uphold in order to keep the low income permits. One I was in had bugs, but not real bad. Low crime, but hey, crime is all over. You will be fine.
