subject: Asking a Question: If A Students Town OR City Safe [print this page] When a student faces the necessity to change his/her native dwelling to an unknown bed in a dorm room, he/she asks absolutely natural questions, such as: is this place safe? How can I check it? Living in a campus is stressful itself and nobody wants to encounter with crimes in addition. And, of course, there are some organizations which prevent such events and some signs, how to determine if the students town is safe. 1.First of all, you should check if there are some secure services in the campus. You may find a campus security service or campus police. There is a great difference between these two organizations. Campus security service cannot put under arrest as well as use force when campus police has all rights to do it. Also, it is important if these services can reach the place of an accident in time. If they need only a minute to get at any point of the campus, that is wonderful. 2.The second thing you should pay your attention to is a campus itself. Are streets wide and well-lighted? Is campus territory open or is there plenty of nooks where a criminal can hide? You may check it during one of the tours through a campus which applicants perform before college. Also you should ask questions to your guide. Usually they are chosen among volunteers, who themselves live in students town conditions and know all the peculiarities. It is more than likely that they will say you truth about a campus. 3.Also, you should take into account the surroundings: you should not be afraid to go out of the campus at night. So, pay attention to pedestrians and walking citizens: laughing children with mothers and old people are the best. Nevertheless, nobody is insured against unexpectedness, so, you should always watch your safeness yourself.
