While studying and meeting deadlines this semester, you may be out and about after dark, travelling to and from campus, the library and other venues. Here are some top tips to help you stay safe and look after your possessions.
Getting home after dark
Never walk alone at night. Stick with your friends whenever you can, and use busy, main routes and paths in well-lit areas. Be aware of your surroundings 鈥� don’t wear headphones or talk on your mobile.
If you are returning from Highfield Campus late at night, SUSU run a free Safety Bus service getting you from Highfield to your doorstep 鈥� .听
Possessions
Make sure that your cash, mobile phone and personal items are not on display. If you are carrying a bag or rucksack, make sure it is closed securely. If you are threatened with violence, don鈥檛 risk your personal safety. If you are in a dangerous situation, leave your possessions and seek help in the nearest safe place.
.
Secure your bike
If you are visiting campus or studying in cafe, never leave your bike unsecured 鈥� even for a moment. It only takes a few seconds for an unsecured or poorly secured bike to be taken. Make sure you lock your bike through the frame and wheels and remove the removable parts.
