Not "ghetto" in the traditional sense of the word, but definitely not highly-desirable residential neighborhoods. I heard the term used by locals for the entire Riverside-Normal City area that is dominated by student housing. On some campuses, chapter houses are right in the middle of affluent neighborhoods. Imagine if fraternity row were in the middle of Westwood (I think that's the name of the addition) just to the west of TC and the T-Com buildings. Plus the Theta Xi house isn't a historic landmark. Only the old Sigma Tau Gamma house (designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and quite beautiful in its day), and the whole neighborhood isn't even close to getting the status.
