Remember that crime happens during the day as well as at night. Use the buddy system or the campus shuttle bus. Do not walk in dimly lit areas or take risky short cuts. Do not jog alone-run with a partner. Do not carry large sums of money or flash money around.
Money attracts attention.
Do not wear walkman-type earphones, especially at night, while walking or driving. They can prevent you from hearing what is going on around you. If you feel that you're being followed or you sense something wrong, change direction or cross the street and head for a well-lit area, any occupied building or to an emergency phone where you will be in direct contact with the police dispatcher on campus. Remember the criminal does not like noise or attention. Carry your purse close to your body and have the flap against your body.
