Students' Personal Safety

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.
