Advice for Female Freshers on Staying Safe in Your New Environment

As a new student (or fresher), navigating campus life can be exciting but also overwhelming. It’s important to stay cautious and prioritize your safety. Here’s a key piece of advice:

Avoid situations where someone—especially strangers or casual acquaintances—says things like “Come to my place, I have handouts for you.” These can sometimes lead to uncomfortable or even unsafe scenarios.

Tips to Stay Safe:

  1. Meet in Public Places: Always meet in open, public spaces for academic discussions or to collect materials.
  2. Verify Information: Before heading out, confirm if the handouts or materials are available through official or reliable sources like your department or class WhatsApp groups.
  3. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, don’t proceed. It’s okay to say no.
  4. Stay Connected: Inform a friend or family member about your whereabouts when meeting new people or attending events.

Remember, your safety comes first. Stay vigilant, and enjoy your time on campus responsibly!
