We should be thinking about survival, not fighting.
Yep.
I keep waiting for someone to mention ADEE when it comes to restrictive campuses, such as colleges.
Avoid.
College Campus, if an option exists for a class being offered online using long distance tools such as Moodle (my preference) or Blackboard, instead of being on campus, take the online class.
Granted these are often times more difficult, then again you benefit because in the real world, these long distance learning skills will be used everyday.
Still, most folks get into trouble by not avoiding some obvious situations that are prone to lead to bad things while on Campus.
You have to be on campus, and maybe at night, as that class has practical labs and the like.
-Don't go where trouble is.
-Safety in numbers.
You might have to park in the back forty, it does not mean you cannot network with other students and plan to arrive at the same time, park near each other, therefore walking to and from vehicles together.
Take a sledge hammer to your ego, if the campus has a shuttle with Security, use it.
Heck , if matters do not feel right, call Campus Security and ask to be escorted out, or hop in the Security car and be driven to vehicles, and Security will wait until your car /everyone's car is started, especially if the weather is cold, rainy, maybe even sleet and snow.
Predators will see you and your network, are taking prudent steps to stay safe. You have your wits about you.
Easier Prey is to be had, such as one person, parked around the corner where it is more dark, yakking on a cell phone.
That person is not avoiding trouble.
