Tip #2 – Pick Your Routes: Campus Safety Awareness Month

Map out the safest (not necessarily the fastest) route between your residence hall, classes and other activities.  Note where emergency call boxes are located, if there’s a “safe spot” you could run to if you were being chased or followed and what time the paths are heavily trafficked or empty.  Observe where the trees or other objects are that someone could hide behind and catch you unawares, so you can steer clear of them.  Report any areas that should be better lighted or have a Security Call Box to your dorm authority and the Campus Security Department.  They SHOULD thank you!
