The First Day In U.K As Student
Welcome To U.K
If you are planning to stay at University or College hostel then you should take some extra care such as
When you leave your room lock the door and shut the window, even if you are only leaving for a few minutes.
Do not allow anyone into your block by holding a door unless you know them or have checked their ID. Following someone in through a door is a thief's favourite technique of entering in any building, as they will not have to force entry/draw attention to themselves and no one will suspect them as thief and assume fellow students.
Report anything suspicious to the security staff on duty.
If you are out at night, try to be in a group of people. Avoid danger spots like poorly lit areas and try to do not walk in oncoming traffic direction.
Think about getting a personal safety alarm. Keep it in an easily accessible place and carry it in your hand if you feel at risk.
If you see someone thing suspicious or some one in trouble, try to call Police first by dialing 999. You may help more by alerting the police or university security.
Transport
If you are using public transport Bus, Tube Tram, make sure you check departure time train and tube does not run 24 hours and in some areas last bus service runs at 12:00am in this situation you have to take a cab/taxi or walk and while thinking is this world most advanced country?.
Always try to save your wallet and valuable stuff .
Always wait for a bus, train or taxi in a well-lit place, near other people if possible.
If a bus is empty or it is after dark, stay on the lower deck and sit near the driver or conductor. On the underground or on trains try to sit with other people and avoid empty carriages.
If you feel uneasy, don’t be afraid to move to another seat or carriage or get off at the next stop if you know the area.
Carry the telephone number of a trusted, registered taxi or minicab company with you. If possible, book a taxi or minicab in advance. Ask for the driver's name, as well as the model and make, color the car.
Confirm the driver’s details when they arrive - to make sure is the taxi or minicab you ordered? Try to share a taxi or minicab with a friend and sit in the back of the car.
If you chat to the driver, be careful not to give out any personal details.
Going Out at Night
Freshers' week has the reputation of being an alcohol fest. If you are going to drink then know what your limit is and remember alcohol dulls your instincts and can lead to you making dangerous decisions.
When you are going out make sure someone knows where you are going, whom you are meeting and when you expect to return. Always plan how you are going to get home.
If you are going out with a group of people then watch out for each other and make sure everyone stays safe.
Watch your drinks and food to ensure that nothing is added to them. Be especially careful never to leave your drink unattended, even if you are going onto a dance floor or to the toilet.
If something tastes or looks odd, do not eat/drink any more of it. Be aware though that some date rape drugs are colourless and tasteless. If you feel ill or light-headed tell a trusted friend or a member of staff straight away and ask for a taxi to take you home. Seek medical advice as soon as possible.
If someone you do not know or trust offers to buy you a drink, either decline politely or accompany them to the bar and watch that nothing is added to your drink.
Surprisingly, the most common date rape drug is alcohol. Victims are often unaware that extra shots of alcohol have been added to their drinks making them far stronger.
