Spring Break Safety TipsMSU Student Housing and Resident Life
recognizes that students need a break between
courses, studying, and papers to ensure success.
All students should understand that whether
you are staying in town, traveling out of state or
abroad, your safety is your number one priority.
The following are some general safety tips to
follow:
Before your Leave:
Secure your room, apartment.
Make sure all windows are closed and locked.
Leave a copy of your travel itinerary and emergency contact
information with someone back home.
Travel:
Track your baggage and personal belongings at all times.
Dont have your names and address highly visible on your
luggage.
Pack tools, sunscreen, sunglasses with UV protection, hat,
rst aid kit, car safety and maintenance materials, water and
snacks.
Keep those with whom you are traveling with and someone
back home informed of any changes to your itinerary.
If you are traveling outside of the USA (including Canada
and Mexico), make sure you have an up-to-date passport,
proper visa and get to know the laws and rules of that
country.
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Travelers checks are
always a good idea. Leave credit cards and ATM cards
locked in a secure place.
Make sure you are aware of the location and contact
information for the police and any other emergency contacts
such as the hospital, where you are traveling.

Lock your door. Do not open for strangers, verify hotel
personnel.

like you're lost or like a tourist.
Theres safety in numbers. Try your best to stay around your
friends.
Beware of pickpockets.
Dont allow yourself to be taken to an isolated location.
Dont walk alone. Use a buddy system.
Never leave with someone you just met. Know the dierence
between making friends and allowing yourself to be alone wia stranger.
