[quote=Anonymous]A lot probably depends on your definition of safe and whether you are male or female. At Cal, my son and his friends started carrying a dummy wallet with a few dollars and useless cards (used gift cards) whatever. This way when you are mugged you don’t lose your ID and everything. They don’t carry their laptops with them very late at night unless they are traveling in a bigger group or within running distance/near very populated areas. It’s worse during the beginning of the year when criminals target the new students. He’s had a number of run ins with aggressive homeless people on drugs but he’s always been able to de escalate, walk away or push back. One tried grabbing his backpack but he’s pretty strong so the guy didn’t get it. The girls usually get someone to walk with them if it’s late. He’s encountered a good amount of “crime” but has lived to tell the tale and isn’t bothered by it. Just an inconvenience. [/quote]
