Finding safety on campus by blogger Veronica

There are so many factors in choosing a college campus to live on. Many parents search hand and foot for a place to help their children live and study safely, but with so much crime and violence especially to the female student body, there is no other way for parents to relieve their confidence but to visit the campus with their children at toe.

Many reasons for these campus visits are to reassure the parents that there is high security and a student body that does not or will not engage in violence of any kinds. It can be seen that these campuses have made brochures and websites that comfort them. There are a lot of action done on the parents part not only financially but also physically, Like encouraging their daughters to carrying mace or pepper spray or even getting a dog or escort service to cater at their every wish. This is change.

In fact, many parents feel that having a second sibling live closer to their college age children studying at certain campuses? Is this outrageous? Independence can only happen not contained and many parents even with all their desires and wants cannot always protect their daughters.

There are so many cases of rapes at parties and even date rape that many parents cannot predict from happening. So, in all daughters needs to be able to use common sense at all cost? There are even outbreaks of sexually transmitted diseases, which are never intended to happen, but happen to rape victims as well. Unwanted pregnancy happens too, Such as a rape victim getting pregnant by their attackers.



In all, parents are needed but should encourage their daughters and the colleges they are having their daughters to attend to listen more intently to their needs and the needs of other parents and make changes to safety and to the way college aged students behave towards each other at parties and dates. There will not be immediate change only hope for a better future for prospective students on college campuses everywhere. Campus visits are just one of many ways that parents can be assured that daughters will feel safe.
