How to Stay Safe on Campus

Home security isn't just for people with houses and apartments.  You need to stay safe no matter where you are, and a college campus can be a dangerous place when you've got so many people living together in a densely populated area.  A recent news article from the Massachusetts Daily Collegian offers some tips for students living on--or just taking classes on--campus.

Some of the tips offered are to take a self-defense class if possible.  And when walking alone "one should walk in a brisk manner on well-lighted streets away from bushes or alleys, have keys and cell phone accessible, while keeping hands free and maintaining an assertive posture."  That's a big one. Keep your chin up and look ahead.  The less you look like a victim, the more likely someone is going to pick an easier target.

Very good, overall. What I especially liked about the article was their advice that you should fight back instead of the usual drivel about 'just give them what they want, don't fight back' etc.
