The odds of staying safe vs. becoming a victim will fall more in your student's
favor if he/she makes some wise choices. For example:
- not walking alone in isolated areas
- never getting in a car with someone under the influence
- refusing to accept drinks from strangers (a drug could have been slipped in)
- keeping his/her room locked
- not storing valuables in his/her room
- not giving out personal information to people met online
- reporting any obscene phone calls right away
- avoiding being alone in isolated places
- never becoming so intoxicated that he/she loses his/her ability to keep himself/herself
safe
Share safety tips with your student and encourage him/her to keep his/her wits about him/her. Campuses can be very safe places, as long as
students play it smart.
