Make sure to let your parents and/or close friends know what your daily schedule is. Give them a copy of your class schedule and activities along with a list of important phone numbers like your RA, roommate, counselor and any other important contact numbers in case of an emergency. 5.

Be sure to program the number of your local campus police into your cell phone, as well as the city police station. Dialing 911 on your cell phone can sometimes direct you to a regional call station miles away. You will have to explain to them exactly where you are, and then dispatch will contact the police agency that is closest to you. Having your local numbers programmed into your phone not only gets you to the agency you need, but also saves time when every second counts. However, 911 is always the best number to call when you are off campus or not in your local city. 6. Run with a Pack
