Back To College Safety Tips

August is the month that literally millions of high school seniors who have graduated and millions of others who are returning to school are off to college. For many it will be the first time that they are on their own and have a sense of independence. It is an exciting time to be sure. But the peaceful tranquility of a college campus can be misleading for women and here's why. Close to 30% of all women who are in a college or university will be sexually assaulted in their time there. Here are some safety tips for those college age women. Always have a buddy with you when you go anywhere. Even if you're on a date insist on double dating. It may seem hokey, but the term date rape originated on college campuses. Always carry a self-defense product with you. A pepper spray can disable an assailant for as long as 45 minutes We like this lipstick pepper spray because it has a UV marking dye and has 10 1/2 second shots that can go up to 6 feet away in a container that looks just like a lipstick dispenser. If you are assaulted, make sure you report it to the local Police Department not campus authorities. You are sure to get action that way. Consider getting one of our many diversion safes that can hide small valuables in your room in plain sight.
