College Safety 101: Miss Independent's Guide to Empowerment, Confidence, and Staying Safe
Tazlvr avatar reviewed on + 30 more book reviews


Kathleen Baty's new "College Safety 101" (Chronicle Books, 2011) provides plenty of practical tips and helpful resources for any young woman heading off to college, spring break or a semester abroad. My daughter is going off to college soon and this book is an excellent way for her to prepare and even be aware of what's going on or what could happen if she was not very careful. She can pick and choose the topics that pertain to her as well.

*Practical tips for campus party, dorm and parking lot safety.
*Particularly strong on stalking issues - the author is a former stalking victim.
*Interesting segment on self-defense.
*Appendix of resources for extra information.

All in all this is an excellent resource for Girls going off to college. My daughter will be taking it with her when she goes.
