I went to UArts as an undergrad (graduated last year)... and I am still here. Philly has quite a charm (and also no charm at all). It's an underdog city with shady parts of town and nice parts of town... and sometimes a bit of both on one block. If you are going to be living/staying near UArts you'll be fine. The surrounding neighborhoods are quite safe.
And the best part about this city... it's not as pretentious as NYC.

Do you know John S? How? Like I said my GF Jen was friends with him in H>S and @ College. When ever ENON comes threw Portland we try and go see 'em. He cracks up that an ex-Cherleader is living the hipster lifestyle.

Philly is great city.
Great music, culture, restaurants, vibe.
I about moved there myself a couple of times until I settled and had a kid and all.
