Content: Be careful about checking in on Facebook or FourSquare. If you can, set your chat settings to block people who you aren’t familiar with. Think of it as today’s version of “Don’t talk to strangers.” If you don’t know who the person is, don’t confirm any private information and never agree to meet someone you don’t know in a private residence or other unfamiliar places. If you have to take that chance, take a friend with you and always meet in a busy public space. 5
Learn the ins and outs of your campus
College campuses can be massive expanses of buildings, parking lots, green spaces and dorm rooms. If you aren’t familiar with where you’re going or what building is where it’s time to learn those things. Knowledge is power, even in this case, and if you know what areas may be dark at night or can spot things that seem out of place, you’ll be safer for it. 6
Trust your gut
If something doesn’t feel right to you, follow your instinct. “ Trust your gut” is a saying for a reason, and that innate sense is there to keep you safe.
