Protect Yourself at College: Smart Choices-Safe Results

by Thomas M. Kane

After the horrific Virginia Tech massacre in April 2007, all of us are now aware of the major
disasters that can strike our students at college. But each year more than 500,000 college
students become victims of crimes and accidents that rarely get reported in the media.
Protect Yourself at College College is based on three years of extensive research and interviews
with college and security officials. It provides parents with a vital tool to give their students
as they pack up for school. School administrators will want to hand out this book to each
student entering the freshman class. It covers everything from dorm safety to binge drinking,
from spring break concerns to date rape, from walking the campus to keeping your computer
safe, from fraternity hazing to taking the bus. Every chapter includes real-life examples and
a checklist of safety suggestions and prevention measures that will ensure students do not
become a crime statistic.

College can be a scary place fraught with danger. Luckily, I am equipped with this book so I have an idea of what goes on/what can happen and how to avoid these situations. Some of it I already know, but it's good to have reinforcement...
