In order to be safe on campus students need to lock their doors and close their curtains. Its the easiest and simplest way to be safe and prevent theft. To find out more watch this video.

Barker also talks about a few other steps that students can take that are not mentioned in this video. The one's in the video are locking your doors and not silhouetting.

But outside of this video clip he also talks about keeping your hideaway key in a real hiding spot. Don't leave it under the mat, around the door frame or in one of those fake rocks. He says its best to entrust it with a friend or trusted neighbor. Those other places are just too obvious and used by too many.

He also talks about avoiding phone calls with strangers. If someone calls your cell or apartment and they are harassing you or won't tell you who they are then don't talk to them. Immediately report them to the police. You can never be too safe.
