What can new students do to prepare themselves for life at a large university?
Many students come from small towns, where they may not be accustomed to taking precautions. It s a good idea for students to make crime prevention a habit before they come to college, by taking responsibility for locking doors and windows at night, always locking their car doors, and engraving valuables with their name and social security number. Most campus crimes are crimes of opportunity; crime can be reduced if students take actions to deny or reduce the opportunities. University Police are glad to answer any of your questions about campus crime prevention. Please contact them at (614) 292-2121.
