Unfortunately, as
everywhere else in the world, there is crime in the United
States. You should be especially careful until you know the
campus and are familiar with the community. Every town has
unsafe areas, and you should find out where these are as soon as
possible. Every college and university employs police officers
or security personnel to help keep the campus safe. If you are
not given security guidelines during your orientation program,
go to your international student adviser or the campus security
office for information. Ask about safety on your campus and in
the community and what you should do to ensure your personal
safety. Remember that good judgment, precaution, and common
sense can significantly reduce chances of having an unpleasant
and possibly harmful experience.
