Your personal safety
- Don’t walk home alone after a night out. Where possible, try to get a taxi but if you have to, walk with a group of friends
- Never get into an unlicensed minicab – no matter how long you’ve been waiting or how much you just want to get home, it is never worth the risk
- Avoid talking on your mobile phone, listening to music or doing anything that means you might be distracted from what is going on around you
- If you do walk home alone, carry a personal attack alarm
- Day or night, walk facing the traffic so that a vehicle can’t pull up behind you unnoticed

Your personal property
- When you’re away from your room, don’t leave personal property or valuables somewhere obvious or unattended
- Don’t place valuable equipment on show or in front of windows – particularly if you live on the ground floor
- Remember to lock your windows and doors before you leave your accommodation
Fire safety
- Take a look at our film for some tips on fire safety whilst living in University accommodation.
