Walking Safely on Campus

Avoid dark, vacant or deserted areas; and always select well-lit, populated routes of travel.
If you are followed or suspect danger, go to a populated area and get help. Don't be afraid to make noise to draw attention to yourself.
Whenever possible, walk with a friend or in a group. There is safety in numbers.
Take advantage of your campus escort or shuttle service.
Plan your route of travel and know where all of the emergency telephones are located on campus. If you feel unsafe, use the phone to call for help.
When on or off campus, know where you can get assistance in places such as businesses, offices and public buildings.
Hold onto your personal property tightly, so it can't be taken away from you.
Walk with self-confidence, and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
