Advice to incoming freshmen on campus safety...

[KSUViolet06]

*Girls, I know it's exciting to be at college and going to parties and hanging out with older guys, but if a guy you just met that night says "hey, wanna go back to my place and hang out?", it's okay to say "no thanks."

*Realize that not all guys who rape girls look "stereotypically creepy". Yes, there are hot, "normal looking" guys who could do the same. Every perve doesn't look like the "dirty old man" that Mommy & Daddy warn you about.

*Also, just because you met a guy a couple of weeks ago at a party and he called you on the phone once or twice, doesn't mean you "know him." I guess what I'm trying to say with this is that not everyone you party with is your "friend."

Please learn the layout of your campus really well ASAP. It's just always a good idea to know your surroundings so you don't get lost, especially at night.

And I second the distinguished gentleman who said something like "a yes from a girl who's been drinking is still a NO." It just ain't worth the potential "complications" (i,e. potential charges) if she decides (when sober) that it was a mistake. (no this is not from my own experience, thank the Almighty I'm smarter than that, but I've seen/heard it happen)
