Content: We don’t want you to feel like danger is lurking around every corner, but it’s smart to minimize risks. Walking alone, parking in a poorly-lit area, or exploring new spots on campus are all actions that come with higher risk at night. Next steps: Use the buddy system when walking at night. Call campus security for a ride if you have to travel on your own, or if you’re under the influence. Park in a lighted area or highly-trafficked lot if you know you won’t return until after the sun sets. Know where you’re going before you head out. SafeWise recommends
