One in five women in college sexually assaulted:

3. The university my daughter is going to next year

have 9 reported per year. She gets Clery Act alerts and has had two this past month.

I worry about her. She will be alone with mostly male students for periods of time (she is in mechanical engineering which has less than 10% women). I am hoping she gets the dorm near the mechanical engineering building to reduce her exposure in transit (one of the assaults was by two men at 10:30 at night near the horticulture building).

They had a Take Back the Night event this month where 80 people showed up so it did not get a lot of support.

I have been doing some research on personal defense items which she might be able to carry. Haven't committed to anything yet. I wonder if a personal alarm would be the best option???
