Content: Don’t travel alone, especially at night and in more desolate parts of campus. Avoid isolated shortcuts no matter how tired you are after a long day of studying. And make sure to use the campus shuttle service if provided. 7. Cruise the Streets
Get a feel for what’s happening downtown. Lots of Universities have wonderful “College Towns” with great restaurants, coffee houses, etc. But, it still is a town or city . . . be aware of the areas or places that seem to attract the crazy or reckless crowd. Steer clear of those areas on a weekend night when things can get out of control quickly. You don’t want to be pulled into something just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
