<p>This is the Hopkins Crime Prevention website for information, self defense classes, safety tips on how to stay safe in any town or city in the world, but also specific things you can do on the JHU campus or the surrounding areas (regarding security personnel, transportation, blue light system on campus, etc):</p>
<p>[Campus</a> Safety & Security: Crime Prevention Tips](<a href=“http://www.jhu.edu/security/CrimePrevention.html]Campus”>Campus Safety & Security: Crime Prevention Tips)</p>
<p>Always LOCK UP your wallets and other valuables if they are not in your possession when using the gym. Use locks on lockers in the locker room. I know that you want to trust all of your friends and other students, but it is really inconvenient to have to get new student ID cards, etc. </p>
<p>Do not walk alone at 2 AM or 3 AM in the dark. The campus is beautiful and everyone perceives it to be a very safe place, but use common sense and walk in groups, in well lit areas in the middle of the night when the shuttles are not traveling as frequently around campus. OR put the TAXI number in your cell phone and call a taxi service. OR call for transportation well ahead of the time you will need it. Don’t expect to call for the shuttle van to pick you up within minutes. They may be transporting other students from parties. Give them more time on rainy nights or really cold nights when more people will need their service. That’s why it is good to have back up transportation plans. </p>
<p>All of this is common sense and is given to all students during Freshmen Orientation and to Parents during Parent Orientation. But it is good for seniors and other students to get a refresher course on safety, as well. </p>
<p>good luck.</p>
