Walking

  • Follow a major road at night, or a well lit path - shortcuts may save time, but tend to be more dangerous.
  • Walk at a steady pace and with confidence near the curb.
  • Avoid dark entrances and shrubs.
  • Do not walk home alone at night - make arrangements with a friend to meet and walk home together, call for a ride, or use one of the resources offered by the university.
