Safety in public places
While in a public place, the following are a few safety measures to consider:
Avoid walking alone and using shortcuts through unfamiliar, deserted areas;
Look confident and be aware of your surroundings;
Travel in well-lit areas and away from bushes, doorways and buildings. Try to take routes that are used by other people;
Carry emergency cab fare;
If you must stay late on campus use the Work Alone program and move your car closer to a building, in a well-lit area;
Use the Campus Walk program at night to get an escort;
Have your keys ready so you can enter your car or residence quickly;
Check in and under your vehicle before entering;
Lock your car as soon as you enter or leave it; and
Keep car windows and sunroof closed.
