Content: Avoid walking along deserted paths. When in doubt, stick to the routes you know best—even if they take a little longer. SafeWise recommends
Get to class on time (and safely) with the Campus Maps app. This app was created by a college student and is one of the easiest ways to quickly get routes to buildings on campuses across the country. 7. Pay attention to crime rates and trends
It’s always smart to stay informed. Looking at local crime rates can give you an idea of what types of crimes are most common and whether or not crime is increasing or decreasing year over year. Campus crime statistics are reported every year in compliance with the Clery Act. Clery Act reporting goes beyond the usual crimes. You can find out about things like fire safety in residential housing, drug- and alcohol-related incidents on campus, and hate crimes.
