Getting an education theses days is tuff enough. Between paying tuition, bills, school supplies and hours of studying, students have to watch out for their safety as well! Students can’t count on campus security as they never seem to be around when needed, they just can’t be expected to watch over so many students and guarantee everyone’s safety. If you live on campus, be careful who you let in your dorm. Be very weary of strangers or people you just met. Many can seem very nice and sweet but yet have alternative motives. Also be very careful of who follows you into the building. If you are walking alone many will take this chance to follow you into your dorm, so be very aware of your surroundings. Lock your bedroom door even if you are only going into your hallway. Did you know about half of all burglaries happen because a door or windows are left open? If you're in a private home or apartment make sure all the windows are locked down and the front door is always locked. It doesn’t matter if you’re only going to be out a few minutes out or close by. Always lock up! You never know who might be watching! Muggers, burglars and rapists are always looking for an easy target. You don’t want to be one of them, always try to be in groups at night. If you can’t be with friends going home, you’re probably better off getting a taxi or staying over a friend’s home. When using ATM machines try to be in a group of friends or trusted people. If you can, any time you need to use ATMS try to get your cash early on. The early the better, less chance of getting cornered and robbed in the dark of night. So it’s best to use ATMS in groups and during the day if possible. Put your debit card and cash away quickly and always be aware of who's around you and your surroundings. Needles to say never give anybody your pin number or write it down where someone can take it. Everyone is more vulnerable to crime or being abused in some sort or manner, when they've been drinking. If you're planning a big night out partying, arrange beforehand a way to get home safely, with friends, or in a taxi. Be careful of whom you accept drinks from, men and women can have their drinks spiked for different reasons. Keep an eye on your drink as much as possible with strangers. I am not saying you have to be paranoid or anything like that; just use common sense and all should be well.
