I'm a college freshman, and
I'm a college freshman, and I've heard all the news recently about young women being raped, kidnapped, attacked, etc. I have a job, and I'm worried about walking to my car alone after work and in the parking lot of stores, etc, as well as an campus dangers. A safety course isn't an option for me, any other advice on keeping myself safe?
