Miami Adult Entertainment: ADT Safety Tips: How to Choose a Safe College or University
As parents and students tour college campuses this spring, Fiel and ADT recommend the following campus safety tips to help parents and students make that important college choice with safety in mind:
Check campus crime rates and statistics. The federal Jeanne Clery Act of 1998 requires publicly funded schools and colleges to publish annual crime statistics for their campuses. All college students should be able to check campus safety by obtaining crime rates for their potential campus before visiting. Many campuses post this report on the police or security pages of their Web sites.
Make sure the campus offers police escort services. Escort services, provided by community service or police officers, can add another layer of security for students who might find themselves studying late on campus. Escort services can help students navigate their campuses more safely and should be made available around the clock.
